The Empire State Building lit its world-famous tower lights green, yellow, and white to celebrate The New York Times' 1,000th game of Wordle on March 14.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker, Grammy Award-winning musician and founding member of The Roots, New York Times subscriber and longtime Wordle solver Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and Wordle Editor Tract Bennet visited the Empire State Building earlier in the day to flip the iconic light switch.
After the ceremony, they toured the Observatory Experience -- which was recently voted the #1 attraction in the U.S. in Tripadvisor's 2023 Travelers' Choice "Best of the Best" for the second consecutive year -- and posed for photos on the building's 86th and 102nd Floor Observatories.
On Friday, March 15 at 10 a.m., The New York Times will host a pop-up on the 86th Floor Observatory of the Empire State Building to give away special gifts to the first Wordle solvers, while supplies last.
