Wordle Nyt, acquired by The New York Times (NYT) in January 2022, is a minimalist daily word puzzle that has become a global cultural phenomenon. Players have six attempts to guess a five-letter target word, receiving color-coded feedback after each guess: green for correct letters in the correct position, yellow for correct letters in the wrong position, and gray for letters not in the word. Its simplicity, social-shareability, and one-puzzle-per-day structure drove rapid viral growth and high engagement.
