1000th Wordle Puzzle Celebration

#Wordle1000 debuts on March 15 — and when the tiles turn green, the fun begins. New York Times Games is thanking five-letter fans everywhere, with a PARTY (Wordle No. 776) inspired by solutions from Wordle history.

Join the fun in person or virtually, as they roll out the green, yellow and white carpet at locations across New York City, and across the nation.

Whether you’ve got a daily Wordle group chat, or you’ve never played before, it’s easy to uncover special gifts and experiences, and reveal surprises you’re sure to ENJOY (Wordle No. 479).
