Move over Scrabble, there’s a new kid in town — the Wordle board game.

The New York Times, which bought the free web game in January, and Hasbro have partnered to create a board game that puts the play in wordplay. The game will go on sale this fall.

While Wordle is for single players online, the board game naturally will revolve around multiplayer competition.

In their announcement, Hasbro said a player designated as the Wordle host writes down a Secret Word in each round. Players have six attempts to guess a five-letter word.
