Shaetlan version of Wordle to be taken down after legal threat
- Josh Wardle, a software developer, created the original Wordle.
- After it became popular all over the world and millions of people logged on to play it every day,
- he sold the game to the New York Times for an unknown seven-figure price.
- However, it seems that the New York Times is now against Wordle-inspired games made with open-source software.
- It is not limited to the Shetland version, though, since numerous more offshoots aimed at fostering regional languages have been established globally.
- Professor Dr. Viveka Velupillai, a linguistics specialist and I Hear Dee participant, called it "utterly ridiculous."
- "Nobody profits from anything, our code is not the same, and the languages are all different," the woman remarked.
- "Wordle served as the inspiration for all of these small, community-run, non-profit initiatives."
