Many once-popular games have unfortunately been ripped off by other apps with no interference from Apple. It's unlikely that Apple is going to remove these clone apps as apps and games based on stolen ideas are nothing new for the App Store. There have been previous Wordle-like games and the general concept is not new, but Shakked and other developers have stolen the Wordle name, interface, and design from Wardle rather than making a similar game with their own graphics and naming scheme. It's disgusting! This guy is only unique insomuch as he's the only one bragging about it! /F3nWRI0gW1 The #3, #7, #14, #15, and #16 best-performing word games in the app store right now are all Wordle clones that don't even change the name. Earlier today, Shakked took to Twitter to brag about how much revenue his clone app would make, and he has been buying App Store ads to promote it. Shakked has created an app that uses the concepts and the design of the Wordle website, and he's charging a $30 per year subscription fee for it. "Wordle - The App" from developer Zach Shakked is one of the most egregious copycat Wordle apps. Any Wordle option available through the App Store is a clone app copying the idea from Josh Wardle, and there are several clone apps climbing up the App Store charts at the current time. There is no official iOS-based version of Wordle available, as it exists solely on the web. Josh Wardle has said that Wordle will remain ad-free and unmonetized, but because it's a web app, shady iOS developers have decided to create app versions to capitalize on the game's success. The website for the game tracks each person's number of wins, and provides an easily shareable graphic, which has contributed to its popularity. Players get six guesses per day, and there's a single daily puzzle for everyone.
Wordle asks players to guess a five letter word by identifying which letters are in the word and are located in the right location.

The game, which is entirely free to play, was introduced last fall and has been spreading like wildfire. If you're a regular internet user you've probably heard of popular web-based daily guessing game Wordle, created by Josh Wardle.
