Oh man, another great game eaten by the big guys. Alternative - https://wordlle.app

Anyone here care to speculate on the reason why we are seeing so many acquisitions in the game space?

There doesn't seem to be any reason you'd acquire Wordle in the first place. It's trivial to recreate it.

I assume that they're buying the brand, not the product.

Yeah, I'm fairly confident they'll just reimplement it in their own app, as the code is trivial and honestly porting it would be harder.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone at NYT already built it and has it feature flagged off or something.
