You Can Now Lose at Wordle to Celebrities – Here Are the 5 Famous Nerds Who Might Beat You!

Buy Me A Coffee

The New York Times Games app just dropped an update hotter than a dictionary in a sauna. Wordle is now officially bougie, because you can play against celebrities. Yes, real ones. With agents and skincare routines.

According to insiders (and confirmed by all our inner fanfiction dreams), the app is letting you compare your Wordle scores with actual famous people who somehow have time to do this and have careers. But don’t get too cocky – only the first 100 users who add them get to flex with the stars. It’s basically Wordle Hunger Games: may the swiftest tapper win.

So who are these iconic letter-slingers?
Brace yourself:

Laufey, jazz singer and official soundtrack to your “sad girl in the rain” aesthetic
Lola Tung, star of The Summer I Turned Pretty and possibly better at Wordle than you
Luann de Lesseps and Sonja Morgan, a.k.a. the Bravo Housewives duo who can throw shade and spell it too
Chris Perfetti, Abbott Elementary’s awkwardly lovable teacher who probably uses “vowel” in a sentence daily

How to Play With the Celebs Without Getting a Restraining Order:
On May 8 at 10 a.m. ET, the leaderboard opens up like the gates of heaven — but only for the fastest fingers. You’ll be able to add these celebrity puzzlers to your leaderboard via links on the NYT Games blog or the celebrities’ Instagram Stories. That’s right, stalking their Stories now counts as “strategic gameplay.”

Once you’re in, you’ll get to see their Wordle scores until May 11, at which point they’ll vanish like your confidence after a five-guess failure.

Laufey Speaks (and We’re Listening)
“I’m always on the go,” Laufey said, as we all tried to remember the last time we left the house. “Wordle and the Mini Crossword help me center myself and stay connected with friends like Lola, no matter where we are.”

Translation: “I’m doing 12 things at once, but still spelling ‘gnash’ before you.”

She added, “It’s become our little daily ritual – comparing scores, sharing hints, screaming when it’s ‘bluff’ and we guessed ‘slump.’ So when NYT added a leaderboard, I said: let’s make it a party. A very nerdy, very fun party.”

Honestly, this might be the only time it’s socially acceptable to lose to a Real Housewife.
