When I saw that Wordle had been bought by the New York Times my initial reaction was "it was fun while it lasted" but this is reassuring:
"At the time it moves to The New York Times, Wordle will be free to play for new and existing players, and no changes will be made to its gameplay."
I am, however, imaging that the game will undergo changes and development to gradually distance itself from the original:
"As part of our portfolio of games, Wordle will have an exciting future with the help of a team of talented engineers, designers, editors and more, furthering the user experience."
