Savannah Guthrie will present a new TV game show based on Wordle, created in 2021 and acquired by The New York Times a year later. The project had been in development for some time but was delayed after Guthrie took a leave of absence following the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, from an Arizona home on 1 February. Nancy Guthrie has not been seen since, and authorities believe she was likely kidnapped. Guthrie said NBC, Jimmy Fallon, and production partners paused plans to accommodate her family situation.

Half-hour episodes will be filmed in Manchester starting in June and air in US prime time in 2027.
