Wordle to be reimagined as a board game

Details: The board game will be called "Wordle: The Party Game" and will be released in October. It's now available for pre-order.

How it works: In the game, players compete to guess a secret word that's been written down by another player. The more rounds it takes to guess the correct word the more points a player accumulates. The player with the least amount of points wins.

The big picture: The Times has been publishing daily crosswords for decades, but recently began a broader push into games, and their potential for subscriptions.

What they're saying: “We’re beyond thrilled to work with New York Times Games to bring our gaming worlds together and extend Wordle in new ways," said Adam Biehl, SVP & General Manager of Hasbro Gaming, in the news release.

• "At New York Times Games, we’re focused on quality crafted puzzles that everyone can experience together, which is why we’re so excited to team up with Hasbro to bring a fresh new format to the global sensation of Wordle," said New York Times gaming chief Jonathan Knight.
