It'll cost money to play. The fucking crossword puzzle costs money. Hell, you can't even read the fucking article without being subscribed to the paper.

Its so simple that anyone halfway through a Computer Programming 101 class can make his own clone. The whole site, including obfuscation, is reportedly less than 600 lines of code.

The original Wordle site doesnt have any useful consumer data (the way Amazon/Google have all your personal info & know all about your shopping habits) except a list of IP addresses and list of puzzles completed.

The concept of the game is probably too simple to copyright. Its basically hangman plus disclosure of incorrectly placed letters. If NYT paywalls this, hundreds of free clones would pop up overnight.

How on earth is this worth millions?

They're not buying the game. They're buying the name, really.

It's not even a great type of puzzle. Picross and crosswords are so much better.

Fuck the NYT and their paywall bullshit.

Maybe if people could actually read their decent, thought-provoking articles on facebook we wouldn't be teetering on the brink of fascist apocalypse.

what the fuck good is reporting if we can't read it.
