NBC Is Turning Wordle Into a TV Show

NBC has ordered a primetime Wordle game show, expanding the hit word puzzle from mobile screens to TV.

The show will feature five-letter word challenges in a team-based competition format and be hosted by Savannah Guthrie.

It is being produced with the New York Times, Jimmy Fallon’s Electric Hot Dog and Universal Television Alternative Studio.

Production is set to begin later this year, with a launch planned for 2027.
