Well, now it’s Quordle’s turn to be bought, as it’s been picked up by Merriam-Webster. “I’m delighted to announce that Quordle was acquired by @MerriamWebster,” tweeted the Quordle account. “I can’t think of a better home for this game. Lots of new features and fun to come, so stay tuned!”. In Quordle, you’ve got nine guesses with which to identify four five-letter words. Everything you type appears on all four boards, with correct letters highlighted in yellow, or in green if they’re also in the correct position. It’s a straightforward twist on Wordle, then, but it does require a different set of strategies and it is trickier to win. Like the New York Times, 192-year-old dictionary maker Merriam-Webster already play home to several other language games. I was absolutely obsessed with Wordle clones last year, including Worldle, Semantle, Nerdle, and Octordle. I’m free now, though.
