"Wordle" gives players six chances to guess a random five-letter word
NBC is bringing one of the internet's most-loved games to television. The network has announced that it is turning Wordle into a prime-time game show, with Today anchor Savannah Guthrie set to host the series.
The show is expected to premiere next year and will be made in partnership with The New York Times, which owns the viral puzzle game. Late-night host Jimmy Fallon is also associated with the project as a producer.

The television version will stay close to the game's original look and feel. According to a report by The New York Times, the show will use the familiar Wordle colours and typeface that players instantly recognise from the app.
