NYTimes trying to prove that we cannot have nice things on the open web. 🀬

The Times’s Wordle copyright includes the unique elements of its immensely popular game, such as the 5x6 grid, green tiles to indicate correct guesses, yellow tiles to indicate the correct letter but the wrong place within the word, and the keyboard directly beneath the grid.

Wow, folks. Careful about how you place keyboards relative to grids.
