Wordle: The Party Game is a new take on the popular daily online game for avid fans to incorporate into their party pastime rotation. The game brings the online pastime to the real world and works by having the host write down a secret word before having participants try their hand to correctly guess it. Players only have six chances, just like the online game, to get the word right and will be scored accordingly to how many guesses it takes them.
SVP & General Manager, Hasbro Gaming Adam Biehl commented on the Wordle: The Party Game saying, "Since Wordle burst onto the scene, it's undoubtedly been a staple in social and pop culture vocabulary. We're beyond thrilled to work with New York Times Games to bring our gaming worlds together and extend Wordle in new ways."
