Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last two years then you’ve definitely heard of Wordle, and if you’ve been enamored by the word crafting game like millions of others then you’ve probably also seen the hundreds of spinoff attempts.
More than a year after buying out the rights to host Wordle, the New York Times is cracking down on clones of the quick-hit word game that keep appearing online, with NYT’s lawyers going straight to the source. This week, a total of three DMCA takedowns have been issued towards clones of Wordle on GitHub, a 404media report unveiled.
