I Just Sold A Game

Like so many of my friends I am addicted to all the New York Times word games. Everyday we text each other our results. I hold my breath when I only have one guess left in Wordle hoping not to break my streak, which currently stands at 403 straight wins.

I have been working on developing a new word game myself. Not that I don’t already have my hands full with Mah Jongg. Since mah Jongg is about pattern recognition I thought the same thing could be done in a word game.

I have finished developing it and I hired a lawyer to copy write it. My lawyer submitted it to the New York Times Games editor. I just got an email from them saying they want to buy the game. My lawyer is in negotiations to get me the job as the daily editor of this game. Don’t worry I will still be teaching Mah Jongg. Writing a daily game like this is not that hard.

Here is a sample of the game. See if you can figure it out, but don’t post the answer. DM me if you think you figured it out.
