Wordle has achievements now

Want to flex your Wordle habit beyond just keeping your streak? The New York Times has added badges to recognize certain achievements in Wordle, Spelling Bee, and Connections. “Have you achieved the infamous Wordle in 1? What about the Perfect Connections Puzzle? How many Pangrams are under your Spelling Bee belt? Badges are rewards you can earn through gameplay that let you look back on the moments that made your NYT Games journey special,” according to the NYT. In the app, you can even see your badges in “your very own trophy case.” The NYT says there will also be “seasonal events and special challenges,” like badges that celebrate “special holidays or special puzzles,” and if you have an NYT Games subscription, you’ll be able to access some exclusive badges. Right now, the badges are “currently” only available for Wordle, Spelling Bee, and Connections, but you can “look forward to more Badges coming across NYT Games.”
