There's an 'L' of a difference here.
The New York Times, owner of the popular word game Wordle, is taking legal action against a geography-based spinoff called Worldle for allegedly causing confusion and capitalising on Wordle's success.
Worldle's creator, Kory McDonald, intends to defend himself by highlighting the existence of numerous other games with similar names.
Wordle, created by Josh Wardle in 2021, gained immense popularity, reaching millions of players worldwide, while Worldle has a smaller player base of around 100,000 monthly users.
Despite the legal challenge, McDonald remains optimistic and expresses surprise at the situation, stating that he is prepared to change the name if necessary.
