Savannah Guthrie, a well-known anchor on NBC's 'Today' show, has officially announced her role as the host of a new primetime adaptation of the popular puzzle game 'Wordle', developed by The New York Times. This news comes at a challenging time for Guthrie, as she continues to search for her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing since January 2023. During the announcement on 'Today', Guthrie shared her mixed emotions, stating, "It’s strange to get up and do the ‘Today’ show every day, and it’s strange to say that I’m going to do a game show when your heart is broken." The show, which will feature team-based word puzzle challenges for cash prizes, is being produced by Jimmy Fallon and is expected to air in 2027. Guthrie's mother was last seen at her home in Arizona, and the uncertainty surrounding her disappearance has weighed heavily on the journalist. Despite the difficulties, Guthrie remains determined to move forward, finding moments of joy amidst her family's struggles.
