The New York Times has acquired the viral word game Wordle for an undisclosed seven-figure sum, the publisher announced on Monday.
Created by a Reddit engineer and launched in October, Wordle gives players just six guesses to determine a five-letter word that changes every day. The soothing daily puzzle has become a hit since its launch, quickly attracting hundreds of thousands, then millions, of players. Social media posts about its game of the day have become ubiquitous, along with screenshots of the game’s distinctive grid.
Josh Wardle, who created the game for his partner, who loves puzzles, told the Guardian this month that he felt overwhelmed by the game’s viral success.

My wife does the free online jigsaw puzzles, one per week gives absolutely no clue as to what it is, so that keeps her busy.Certainly do. It was forwarded by a friend early in January.
It's very sweet actually. The original wordle gave out one quiz a day. So you spent 5-10-15 minutes nutting it out. The fact that you couldn't get sucked into another and another is in my m ind a great thing. It is just a clever, pleasant little thing to look forward to.
Same here in 5. As you say, good concept and not something you have to get too involved in.Yeah, boyeee! Just solved my first Wordle. Kinda fun little concept.
For the life of me, I don't know why people would chose to live in SE Queensland, NW NSW my other half is a clean freak she would have a meltdown with the rain, the grandkids walking in mud, the garden getting washed down the street every other year.

Communities are on alert due to the increased risk of thunderstorms, large surf and major flooding at levels similar to last week's NSW and Queensland devastation. Find out more.au.news.yahoo.com
With the floods in Qld and NSW plus the war in Ukraine I'm guessing the SA earthquake didn't even make the news interstate?You get used to it, sort of like, why would anyone live in the cold, wet UK
Obviously, the floods are dangerous and very costly but they only happen occassionally, the rest of the time it is a good place to live.

We got a bit of a shaking yesterday morning. Nothing drastic but felt the house shake and heard a rumbling. It was real, has been reported in the media locally.
Just the media doing what the media does, stirring up its own news, wont be long and the conspiracy theories will start.Why the sudden interest in heart attacks for over 50's ?
Heart attacks in that age group have been increasing every year this century.
Not sure what the point is. Have the media started some myth or something ?
