Because that would have been an asshole move. This gets them views, goodwill, and probable revenue stream. In long term probably worth more than what they paid

- endisneigh 5y agoI'd agree if they don't touch it at all, but since they bought it they're going to monetize it. what difference does it make at that point? do people not go on instagram for shamelessly ripping off snapchat? wordle itself is just a clone of lingo, etc. etc.
- colinmhayes 5y agoI disagree. I think they'll throw it on their already monetized crossword app(they claim to have 1 million subscribers) as a freebee to get people in the door. They might let you do extra words if you have a subscription, but a lot of the beauty of wordle is 1 word per day which creates a strong network.
- jffry 5y agoThey could also go the route of "daily word is free, archives are part of the subscription", or similar

- thehappypm 5y agoWhy would anyone play the clone? The real game is free and has the network effect.
