I'm not entirely convinced they'll get their money back from it, Wordle seems more like a passing fad imo, and of course corporations are great at running things into the ground Good for Josh though, he's getting a hell of a payday for a pretty minimal investment

there's an absolute shitload of bootleg wordle apps on the play store, if they gate it off people will just go there also, I think I read that while that guy did name it wordle, that kind of word puzzle has actually existed for a long time. anyone know if that is true?

Once they add a paywall to Wordle, it'll plummet. The main thing that made Wordle so popular was that it was free and easy to share your results.

Play posted:there's an absolute shitload of bootleg wordle apps on the play store, if they gate it off people will just go there the game is just mastermind but with letters and the restriction that those letters form real words. Actual mastermind uses four colors as the code, and there's no restriction on possible codes. Mastermind dates back to 1970 Wikipedia suggests that mastermind itself is based on an older game called Bulls and Cows which is around a century old

Mastermind dates back to 1970 Interesting! ngl I like the sound of Bulls and Cows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulls_and_Cows Actually it is very similar to mastermind, it's a numeric code though and has nothing to do with vocabulary at all. So I guess the 'innovation' that led to wordly was making all of your entries and all of your answers have to be real words. Also while it does tell you how many number are right and in correct and how many right but in incorrect position, it doesn't tell you which numbers those are so you have to trial and error your way to finding it. Would be kind of a fun, simple game actually.

Not a big fan of all these companies owned by only two studios. Man I wish Nintendo would have bought Rare back in the 90's, at least they were only working on stuff for Nintendo
