Short answer
Yes, but Wordle is part of the official NYT Games app rather than a separate app named only Wordle. Verify that The New York Times Company is the developer, or play from the New York Times Games website.

Useful features
Keep in mind: The app contains several games. Free access, archives, statistics and analysis tools can have different account or subscription requirements.
Look for NYT Games, not a Wordle-only listing
The New York Times identifies Wordle as an included game in NYT Games. A separate app using Wordle in its name may be a different game, so check the developer and follow the official listing.
Web and app access may differ
You can also play through the New York Times Games website. Account syncing, archives, statistics and Wordle Bot access can depend on how you sign in and the plan attached to the account.
Sources and how we checked
Source-based research; not hands-on testing. We use official product pages, developer listings and support documentation, then flag details that still need checking.
