I'd agree if they don't touch it at all, but since they bought it they're going to monetize it. what difference does it make at that point? do people not go on instagram for shamelessly ripping off snapchat? wordle itself is just a clone of lingo, etc. etc.
I disagree. I think they'll throw it on their already monetized crossword app(they claim to have 1 million subscribers) as a freebee to get people in the door. They might let you do extra words if you have a subscription, but a lot of the beauty of wordle is 1 word per day which creates a strong network.
