    That game must have one of the lowest labor to profit ratios of any product ever made. The interface maybe took a skilled web developer a few days and it has basically no upkeep after that. And it alone is prolly worth hundreds of millions in NYT games subscriptions. Crazy.

      You don’t need a paid subscription though. Only to see the results of the wordle bot, if you care for that.
