NYT Wordle may officially be getting a television makeover! NBC has greenlit a game show adaptation. The idea for a television format was explored by The New York Times after they acquired the game from original creator Josh Wardle in 2022. Partnering with and Universal Television Alternative Studio (UTAS), the pilot is moving forward, with Fallon's Electric Hot Dog banner co-producing the show.

This is a first for a New York Times game transitioning to a television format. No release date has been announced at this time, but as filming has already started, we can expect the final product to arrive sometime in mid-to-late 2026.
