The Best Wordle Clone in Town – The TouchArcade Show #515

The TouchArcade Show – An iPhone Games Podcast

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show we dig into the drama of the moment which is the cloning and subsequent gloating about the cloning of the lovely little free word game Wordle. This leads into some additional drama about how PUGB Mobile is suing both Apple and Google for all the battle royale clones out there. For some reason it took them literally years to decide to do this? We then cap things off with the news of the week which includes yet another free to play game shutting down and the triumphant return of Crush the Castle. Links to all these stories are in the Show Notes below.
