From LauncherWP | When Wordles collide: “Wordle!” developer donates $50,000 after old app goes viral by accident
“I read how [Wardle initially] didn’t want to put ads on it or make any revenue off of his game — and I respected that,” he said.Despite the similarities between the games, down to the titles, Cravotta said that it never crossed his mind to take legal action.
. Boost! provides free tutoring and mentorship for children in Oakland, Calif. — the city where Wardle, who now lives in Brooklyn, used to be based. Seeing as both games centered on word puzzles, Cravotta felt the money should go to a literacy-focused nonprofit. Wardle agreed.“It’s almost fate that Josh and I were connected,” Cravotta said. “What’s great about our generation is we are not here to go after each other, but uplift each other’s ideas and make the world a better place while doing it.
“I wanted to promote something that I built — something that was my own,” he said. “And so that’s kind of how I came to start developing my own products. And that led to me building websites that I could put ads on, and then eventually building apps that I could promote and, you know, earn revenue from.”
“I think a huge part of being successful is just taking bets on yourself. It's kind of what I live by,” he said. “And that's definitely one of my main goals — to inspire other young entrepreneurs to start doing this. Even if you don't see the long-term benefit yet, just start doing stuff that you're passionate about.”
