A game like Wordle seems fall more or less halfway between a copyright and a patent. There is a lot of gray area on this one.

- jfoster 5y agoIt feels to me like it could be "IP" from multiple angles: The name could be a trademark. The UI treatment could potentially be trademarked. The implementation could be copyrighted. The game mechanics could be patented. (not 100% sure how effective this would be, especially since there might be prior art, and since as a game it may not be a useful invention)
