Wordle enthusiasts are I-R-?-?-E about the changes its new owner, The New York Times, has made to their favorite addictive online game. And although there have been some reported minor glitches on the streak-maintaining front, so far, The Times has kept its promise to keep the game free to all. But that hasn’t prevented Wordle fans from publicly griping that things are just not the same under the aegis of the New York Times. Tech news site Gizmodo posted earlier this week about the general dissatisfaction with the changes, going as far as to say The Times is “ruining” the game. “It’s been less than a month since the New York Times bought Wordle, but it’s wasting no time in ruining everyone’s favorite word game in all the s—y ways you’d expect from a billion-dollar behemoth,” it wrote.
