The New York Times is betting that the Wordle craze isn t over yet. On Monday, the Times announced that it would be turning the hit mobile word game into a televised game show on NBC.
Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie will host the affair, while The Times and The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon will both serve as production partners. Guthrie and Fallon announced the news on the 8:00 AM broadcast of the Today show on Monday, where they shared that the game show had been in development for the past two-and-a-half years.
