One fan of the popular online word game Wordle didn't have to guess the terms of its sale to the New York Times Co on Monday.
William Patterson, who's currently enjoying a 10-day winning streak, is the Chicago lawyer who took the lead in representing Wordle creator Josh Wardle in the deal.
"Josh and I are very confident that The New York Times are going to be great stewards of the game," said Patterson, who co-chairs the data protection practice at law firm Swanson, Martin & Bell. He said he met Wardle in early January through a client and neighbor in the Chicago suburbs, who is friend of Wardle's.
"I like to play over my second cup of coffee in the morning," Patterson said, adding he usually uses his first two guesses to rule out letters. "I usually start with 'TEARS' or 'RATES,'" he said.
