NBC Developing TV Version Of Wordle
NBC is looking to create a TV game show out of the crazy popular word puzzle Wordle. Today anchor Savannah Guthrie is attached to host.
Jimmy Fallon will serve as executive producer which makes sense as his “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” is in the NBC family and he’s played it on that show before.
The Times purchased Wordle in 2022, and the puzzle generates billions of plays annually on the newspaper’s games website. Players get six attempts to identify a five-letter word using color-coded clues. If approved, the Wordle series would join Fallon’s other NBC game show Password on the network’s unscripted lineup.
