The knock-on effect of Wordle's sudden fame: Apps like Wordle! and other games with similar names are surging up the app-store charts. People are realizing they're not getting the Wordle they expected, and they're not happy.
“I didn’t know it was a craze,” Mr. Cravotta, now 24 years old, said in an interview. “I had no idea what was going on.”. But those searching for Wordle in the App Store landed on Mr. Cravotta’s game.
Some users realized they weren’t getting the Wordle they expected. Mr. Cravotta said his game has gotten a bunch of bad reviews. “People are just confused,” he said. Wordle, on the other hand, is a guessing game that gives a person six chances to guess the day’s secret five-letter word. Type in a word as a guess, and the game tells you which letters are or aren’t in the word. The game is free and has no ads.
Some have tried to cash in on Wordle’s fame by rushing out copycat apps that look like it. While many topped Apple’s App Store charts, Apple said Tuesday night that it had removed fake Wordle apps from its store without specifying how many.
