If you can’t get enough of the puzzle, The New York Times has published a solution that may cure your addiction.

The news of the update was greeted with joy by users, who took to social media to express their delight at the new addition to the game.

New York Times Games CEO Jonathan Knight said fast company, ‘The planning has been long. We’ve heard from users that it’s top of the list among requested features.’
The file was first released on mobile and desktop platforms on May 7.
Meanwhile, the app version will be released in June.
To play the puzzles above, you’ll need a subscription to The New York Times Games, which costs $6 per month, or a New York Times All-Access subscription, which costs $25 per month.
However, playing the daily games will still be free.
People took to social media to express their excitement over the file’s release.

“The Word file is here, let’s go,” another user added.
One person said: “Wordle has a file.”
Josh Wardle debuted Wordle in October 2021 and quickly rose to success.
While running the puzzle, Wardle provided access to all previous versions in one file, however that was removed when he sold the game to The New York Times, according to Mashable.
The file’s disappearance left fans devastated, with many wondering if the NYT would ever restore it, a request that was finally fulfilled after more than two years.
However, the release of the file is not the only novelty that captivates Wordle users.
The New York Times is currently involved in a legal dispute with a geography-based game spin-off called Worldle.
According to the bbcA legal filing shows that The New York Times has accused the spinoff of “creating confusion” in order to capitalize on “the enormous goodwill” associated with Wordle.
However, Kory McDonald, the creator of the spin-off, responded that there were many other games with similar titles.
He told the outlet: ‘There is a whole industry of (dot)LE games.
“Wordle is about words, Worldle is about the world, Flaggle is about flags.”
However, The New York Times argued that the two were “almost identical in appearance, sound, meaning, and give Wordle the commercial impression.”
