It\u2019s playable in Commodore 64 emulators, but if you have a real C64 (or modern recreations like the C64 Mini), you can play it on there too.<\/p>\n<p>Harvey just released version 1.3 of the C64 game, which speeds up loading times, adds a word lookup feature, and fixes a bug that caused crashes after playing two games.

The game\u2019s popularity led to a surge of clones, and Wordle was sold to the New York Times in January 2022 for an undisclosed sum.<\/p>\n<p>There have been a few other Wordle clones for retro platforms, too. Windle and WinQuest were created for Windows 3.1, based on the look and feel of the built-in Minesweeper games, and there are ports to the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/stacksmashing\/gb-wordle\">Game Boy<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/vectrex28.itch.io\/wordle-nes\">Nintendo Entertainment System<\/a>. Wordle\u2019s simple gameplay lends itself well to retro ports, though some versions have a much smaller list of available words than the main game \u2014 available memory is a problem for early computers and consoles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
