Desktop Wordle is coming

Wordle is a fun game to pass the time in a fun and brain-teasing way, but it's not exactly social. Well, that's about to change. The New York Times, in collaboration with the well-known board game maker Hasbro, will also launch a tabletop version that can be played with family or friends on game nights. The game will be called “Wordle: The Party Game” and it is expected to come to the market in October this year in the US, it is possible to pre-order for 19.99 dollars, but how it will be with other markets is not yet known.

And how will the gameplay go? In a very similar way as in the digital format, except that in this case the five-letter words will not be chosen by the computer, but by one of the players who will play the role of "word coiner", and since he will be the only one who knows the word, he will also play the role of placing the yellow and green transparent tiles. Players will write their ideas on small eraser tablets, so there is no need to search for paper, pencils and erasers.

In a very short time, Wordle has become one of the most popular games on the web, so it's no wonder that it got a bunch of local versions, including Slovenian, called Besedle. Will the desktop version enjoy the same success? We will see…
