The New York Times is acquiring Wordle, an online game that shot up to popularity seemingly overnight.
The move highlights the importance of the company’s Games unit, which hosts things like crosswords and Spelling Bee, as a way to attract new subscribers.
“The Times remains focused on becoming the essential subscription for every English-speaking person seeking to understand and engage with the world. New York Times Games are a key part of that strategy,” the company said in a release. As of the end of the third quarter, the company had approximately 980,000 Games subscriptions.
