Wordleis all (too) well and good, but if you’re aTaylor Swiftfan, get ready to fill in a whole new set of blank spaces each day.
Thanks to theHoly Swiftpodcast, Swifties now have their own version of thepopular daily word gameto play, appropriately titledTaylordle.
The Swift-themed iteration of the game launched on Friday, and uses only five-letter words that are “part of the Swiftie universe,” according to podcast hosts Krista Doyle, Jessica Zaleski and Kelly Boyles.
Fans have already started recording their Taylordle scores on Twitter with the familiar green, gray and yellow boxes that Worlde fans have made popular.
“the only complaint i have is that it isn’t called wordle (taylor’s version), but i love it anyway,” one fan wrote onTwitter.
Addedanother: “i’ve literally never played wordle before but i will be playing taylordle.”
The original Wordleexploded in popularity earlier this yearafter publicly launching in October.
“I wanted to come up with a game that she would enjoy,” Wardle — whose game title is a play on his last name — told theTimes.

The concept is simple: players have six tries to correctly guess a five-letter word, and are told when letters are in the right spot, or if they’re somewhere else in the word.
“I think people kind of appreciate that there’s this thing online that’s just fun,” Wardle told theTimes. “It’s not trying to do anything shady with your data or your eyeballs. It’s just a game that’s fun.”
TheTimesannounced on Monday that it had acquired the game from Wardle for an “undisclosed price in the low-seven figures,” though the engineer assured fans in a statement that the game will remain free to play for everyone.
