NYT Games Chief On Bringing ‘Wordle’ To NBC & Staying True To The Daily Puzzler – Web Summit

The New York Times Games boss has promised the upcoming Wordle game show will stay true to the puzzle game and revealed it will be taped this summer. Jonathan Knight, Head of Games at The New York Times, gave his take on the upcoming Wordle show at Web Summit Vancouver.

“Savannah Guthrie has been by the office,” he said. “We’ve been developing the show and the format, making sure it’s true to Wordle, that the pacing is right and the different rounds… and we’re taping it in the summer.”

NBC officially greenlit Wordle this week, with Savannah Guthrie tapped to host the show, which is from Universal Television Alternative Studio (UTAS) in partnership with Jimmy Fallon’s Electric Hot Dog and The New York Times exec producing.
