The article in the NYT says that Wordle will "initially be free to play". Gotta monetize it somehow, so expect either ads or a subscription. Glad I never caught the bug.

My guess is that there will be ads initially and then bonuses for subscribers to the paper such as access to previous games and extra games they can play each day. There are still a lot of word app games that offer one new free game a day (I play some of them) with the option to buy more if you want.

According to the Riddler column of 538, the first word (among those in Wordle's dictionary) that maximizes your chance of solving the puzzle in no more than 2 guesses or in no more than three guesses is "trace." --Bob

I'm a bit surprised by "trace," because c is not that common a letter. I would think that under that rationale, "trade" would be better as a first guess.
