Wordle

The legality of selling this game seems dubious. Clearly the “creator” did not actually invent the game. Isn’t he going to get pelted with lawsuits now that he’s cashed in? I can’t see how this ends well for anyone involved, including the players.

Paid for the brand it would seem. As you say, the game itself has been around for years, but brand recognition is huge for Wordle now.

The key things about Wordle are that it’s one play per day (so everyone is doing the same word at the same time), and the ease and method of sharing which doesn’t give up the answer.

Neither of those are really protectable as intellectual property, so don’t blame the guy for taking the money and running.
