The New York Times, owner of Wordle, is suing a one-man geography-guessing alternative project named Worldle.
Hit puzzle game Wordle was the work of British designer Josh Wardle, until it was bought by The New York Times in 2022 for a seven-figure sum. It’s now operated as part of The New York Times’ growing games portfolio and is played by millions daily.
The browser-based Worldle, meanwhile, was built and is still run by one man – Seattle-based Kory McDonald, and has around 100,000 players each month.
