Latest News About Wordle New York Times App

Here’s the latest on Wordle and the New York Times app.

• Wordle was acquired by The New York Times in early 2022. It remained free to play on the NYT site for new and existing players at that time, with no immediate changes to gameplay. The NYT later integrated Wordle into its NYT Games ecosystem, including availability in the NYT Crossword app for iOS and Android (initially announced in 2022).[1][5][6]
• In the NYT Crossword app release, Wordle could be played within the app and allowed users to save stats and streaks, with access tied to a NYT account; this broadened reach across devices while keeping daily play central to Wordle’s experience.[5][6]
• Subsequent coverage confirms Wordle’s status as part of the NYT’s Games portfolio, with the app and platform integration continuing to support cross-device play and stat tracking for subscribers and free users alike, at least in the initial years after the acquisition.[4][6]
