— the word-puzzle game that’s gone viral in the last two weeks — issued a mea culpa after getting dragged online for ripping off the idea and bragging about it. His apology also followed Apple’s removal of his copycat app from the App Store.
One of those was created by a tech entrepreneur Zach Shakked, whose “Wordle – The App” went live Monday on Apple’s App Store. The game offered five-, six- and seven-letter words as well as a “pro” mode with unlimited play for a $30 annual subscription.posted late Tuesday, Shakked — after getting attacked on social media for blatantly copying the original viral hit — acknowledged his mistake. “I realize I crossed a line. And I surely, surely will never do anything remotely close to this again.
After publicity over the shameless Wordle ripoff apps, Apple removed Shakked’s game and others from the App Store on Tuesday. While Shakked professed to be sorry, he also tried to defend his actions and complained that he was being raked over the coals for something he claimed is routine in the industry. “Wordle is a ripoff of another game,” he wrote, and pointed out that “Wordle” has not been trademarked.
