Is Wordle a part of your daily routine? Millions of Americans try to solve the popular five-letter word game every day and this Friday (March 15th), “The New York Times” is celebrating the 1,000th Wordle puzzle with some freebies and giveaways. But you have to play that day to get in on the fun.
"Players will be invited to experience a little extra delight when all their tiles turn green," the newspaper shares in a press release. "Whether you’re a daily Wordle player or new to the game, all you have to do is solve the 1,000th Wordle to join the celebration in-person or virtually for a special treat."
Players who solve that 1,000th Wordle can use the answer as a code to get special treats that are being given away in various New York City locations, including:
