NBC is set to launch a primetime game show based on the viral word puzzle Wordle, which has captivated millions since its debut in 2021. Produced by Jimmy Fallon's Electric Hot Dog and Universal Television Alternative Studio, the show will feature a fast-paced format where teams compete to solve five-letter word puzzles. Savannah Guthrie, co-host of the Today Show and an avid Wordle player, will host the show, which aims to replicate the community engagement seen in the online version of the game. Players will form squads to compete against each other for a substantial cash prize, enhancing the collaborative spirit of Wordle. Production is expected to begin later this year, with the show slated to premiere in 2027. Wordle, created by Josh Wardle and purchased by The New York Times in 2022, has already inspired a board game and various apps, highlighting its widespread appeal.
