For what it's worth, I haven't played a game consistently for close to 20 years but Wordle stuck like glue for some reason. I've only missed two words in 3 weeks. It's kind of addictive. I might stop tomorrow, who knows, but it's interesting that I'm still returning to it day after day.
I'm notoriously bad at picking up habits too, even if it's something I want to do.
The road to monetize those players and to make let’s say $2M net would be a huge pain in the ass. I would also have just sold and moved on to the fun part of a new project
I enjoy Wordle specifically because it's zero friction to play (aka there are no ads, no signup, no popups, no nags to subscribe for "$1 a week") - which of course will be the first thing NYTimes adds.
Real bummer, I enjoyed the collective experience of sharing the emoji square badges with friends in group chats. It was a fun daily challenge that anybody could hop in on at any time.
Did I read that right ? Wordle was valued above 1M. It seems crazy from the outside but I guess I never realized how popular it.
