From NBC's 2026-27 season pree release:
"An avid "Wordle" player, "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie will serve as host of the primetime gameshow. The new format challenges players to solve five-letter word puzzles in a supersized battle of smarts, speed and fun. It builds on the way the puzzle community engages with Wordle every day - solving together, sharing wins, debating strategies and cheering one another on. Now, that style of play comes to life as the most-obsessed and competitive players will team up in squads and go head-to-head in the "Wordle" arena, playing for an incredible cash prize."
It wouldn't be the first time a popular game show format was "borrowed"; how many versions of Password were there at one point?
