Savannah Guthrie, a familiar face from NBC's Today show, will host a new television game show based on the immensely popular New York Times word game, Wordle. The project, which had been in development, was temporarily delayed due to Guthrie's personal leave of absence earlier in the year.

Guthrie shared that Wordle had been a source of connection with her mother. Despite ongoing personal heartache, she expressed determination to move forward, finding joy in this new venture.
