Summary

NBC has commissioned a television adaptation of the popular word puzzle game Wordle, with American talk show host Savannah Guthrie set to present the programme. The show has been produced by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon's production team and will air on NBC. Whilst the game has achieved global success, the TV adaptation will initially be restricted to American players only, potentially limiting its appeal to the international audience that has embraced the original online version.
