Is the game idea even ownable? I didn't think that board game rulesets were copyrightable, only the graphics.
Can I just host a wordle clone and bot add the NYT's latest word every day at midnight from Twitter? Can you copyright "the english dictionary word that was used on Wordle NYT today"?
I feel like the owner basically is laughing to the bank on this, they've bought.. a domain? The brand "wordle"? Even that?
- dehrmann 5y agoSure, you can clone it, but you'd be competing with the well-known brand that's free in somewhere between two weeks and two months. NYT bought a user base that might be into crosswords and spelling bee.
