Wordle's public history: released October 2021, bought by the New York Times in January 2022. That is a different company event from the 2026 reports about Letterboxd itself.
Why the names collide right now
The New York Times already owns Wordle and Letter Boxed. In 2026 it was also reported to be in talks to buy Letterboxd. Wikipedia records September bidding reports around $300 million and a 5 November update around $330 million. CBC's 6 November Reuters report describes exclusive talks around $330 million with no agreement reached. These are reports at different dates, rather than two prices for a completed sale.
That pile-up is why a search for “letterboxd wordle” can surface a business story instead of a puzzle. The puzzle is still the review game. Rules are on How to play. The thing you share looks like: “I guessed today's #Letterboxdle #107 in 4 tries” and a row of squares, then the classic URL. A miss says “I couldn't guess.”
Streaks
The game shows a win streak and a best streak in the browser. It does not ask for an account. A streak saved on letterboxdle.net may not follow you into an embedded frame on another site. If the number matters, play on the game's own site.

Questions
Is there an official Letterboxd Wordle?
No public page from Letterboxd or from the New York Times uses that name. The daily game players mean is Letterboxdle.
How many tries, and is it the same puzzle for everyone?
Six tries. Classic is one puzzle per date, the same board for everyone, the way Wordle is one word per date.
Can I share a result without spoiling the film?
Yes. The share line is a sentence, a row of squares, and a link. It does not include the title.
