I keep seeing that but I’d be amazed if NYT paywalled it. They’ll just add derivative versions and stuff like that for subscribers. Much like how their daily mini crossword is free to all.
- _moof 5y agoWhen the NYT announced the purchase, they said Wordle would "initially" remain free to play. If I told you that tonight I will "initially" be watching Evil Dead II, you're going to have some questions about what I'm doing afterward. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/31/business/media/new-york-times-wordle.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/31/business/media/new-york-t...
- keithnz 5y agoI'd be amazed as well, they're far better off using it to promote themselves and try to bait you to try/look at other things. Paywalling it would just remove most of those daily users they just bought. Maybe when it dies off, then they will do that, but quite likely most people will use one of the many clones, especially the apps. The fad will die off really quick I'm thinking. To me it doesn't have the lasting power of things like sudoku.
