Wordle is Now Playable Through New York Times Crossword App

Wordle took the internet by storm in early 2022 as the daily word puzzles caught fire across the internet. The word game originally developed by Josh Wardle became an internet sensation after implementing social media sharing features. The game became so popular it would eventually be purchased by The New York Times in a massive «seven figure» deal. With The New York Times later implementing the game on its own website, the word game has now apparently found another new home on The New York Times Crossword app.

Wordle fans recently discovered that The New York Times Crossword app had received an update with the popular daily word game being introduced to the app. Users can now complete The New York Times' daily Wordle puzzles through the app, alongside previous updates allowing players to link their stats to their NYT accounts. However, using the app does require a subscription to New York Times Games.

New App Lets Players Save Their Wordle Stats

The new integration with The New York Times Crossword app comes as Wordle's popularity has dipped somewhat from its overwhelming presence earlier in the year. A data chart shows Wordle on a steady decline following The New York Times purchase. However, the game remains popular among fans with a Twitter Gaming report from July revealing that Wordle was the second most-tweeted game of 2022's first half following Genshin Impact. Wordle's success has even seen the game begin to push beyond its original daily word puzzle scope.

Following Wordle's massive online success, The New York Times has continued to look for new ways to push the game's popularity. The news conglomerate teamed up with Hasbro earlier this year to develop Wordle: The Party Game, a tabletop spinoff to the online game.
