- brimble 5y agoSure, I'm not saying it was a dumb move at that price. Depends on how much staying-power the fad has, I guess. Though when I first tried to find it a couple weeks ago, Wordle was not the top result for "Wordle". Result 3 or 4 IIRC. But I'd expect NYT can fix that.
- chucksmash 5y agoJust because they could have easily cloned it doesn't mean it's dumb to reward (and be seen rewarding) the creator. This is better PR than a media goliath ripping off the success of the little guy.
