Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie is set to host a new game show based on the mobile app Wordle, NBC said on Monday.

The news comes as Guthrie‘s 84-year-old mother, Nancy, remains missing after being abducted from her home in February.

Doorbell camera footage captured a masked man armed with a gun standing at her front door before her disappearance.

No suspects have been officially named or charged in connection with the investigation.

Guthrie said filming for the show had been scheduled for March but had to be delayed after her mother’s disappearance.

She told The New York Times, which owns the Wordle mobile app, that the game had become a shared ritual between her and her mother, and recalled showing her the pilot for the game show adaptation in December.

The show will feature teams competing against each other in large-scale Wordle-inspired challenges, racing to solve five-letter word puzzles for a cash prize.

The series is expected to premiere in 2027.
