Hasbro and New York Times Games launch Wordle: The Party Game

Published on: 5th December 2022

The new board game is inspired by Wordle, the popular digital puzzle game from New York Times Games.

Hasbro and New York Times Games have launched Wordle: The Party Game. Inspired by Wordle, the popular digital puzzle game from New York Times Games, Wordle: The Party Game, available in the UK, delivers classic Wordle gameplay, but now in a way that is perfect for game night with friends and family.

Wordle: The Party Game features the gameplay fans love, but can now play in real life. In each round, a player designated as the Host, writes down a secret word. Just like the original game, players have six attempts to guess a five-letter word, competing against others. The fewer tries a player needs, the fewer points they score, and the player with the fewest points at the end of the game wins.

Wordle: The Party Game can be played repeatedly with the included dry-erase  boards and markers. Players can also switch up the gameplay with four different ways to play: classic play, fast, timed, or teams. Wordle: The Party Game is suitable for ages 14 and up.

Since Josh Wardle released Wordle to the public in October 2021, the puzzle has exploded in popularity and rapidly became a daily obsession for solvers. The Times Company acquired the guessing game in early 2022 and it continues to surprise and delight millions of daily players around the world. The game is a phenomenon that is not only woven into the cultural conversation but one that continues to capture collective imaginations.

Wordle is the latest addition to The Times’s portfolio of engaging word and logic games that have captivated readers since the launch of The Crossword in 1942.
