Wordle is officially getting its own TV game show, and Jimmy Fallon is involved for some reason

Wordle is getting the small screen treatment Wordle, the web-based word game that took the world by storm back in late 2021, is officially getting its own TV show. The series is produced by Universal, and will be in partnership with The New York Times and Jimmy Fallon's prodution company Electric Hot Dog. According to The New York Times, the fast-paced game show will be filmed in Manchester, England, and hosted by Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie. "I feel very honored to be working with Savannah Guthrie on this show," said Fallon in a statement. "Savannah has that rare combination of intelligence, charm, and warmth that makes everyone feel instantly welcome. And she obviously knows how to host a show. I am SUPER PROUD and HAPPY, and I think we developed a SOLID GAMER for PRIME-time." The new game show will have a fresh format, but one that still challenges players to solve five-letter word puzzles. Players will team up and go head-to-head in a "Wordle" arena, solving challenges and battling one another all in order to win a cash prize. The exact value of that cash prize has not yet been revealed. Back in October 2021, it seemed everyone was talking about Wordle. Developed by Josh
