Were they shuffling it onto the Times platforms? Plugging you in to all the NYT cookie revenue streams there’s bound to be some glitches…
I just play the game when I first wake up Pleasant couple of minutes. I've never not solved. My streak? Don't know, don't care.
NYT - apparently your streak is not fit to print.
As of 6:15 AM EST Friday, Wordle via the NYT won't load on my Chromebook. However, the url shows previous stats info so that's something...
I use different computers during the week v weekend and so never really got good streak data. I've been posting a screen-shot of every game I play at my blog.
I keep my own statistics.
Way to go NYTimes. Take something over and break it. That's enough to give someone an ulcer I guess.
I see the link goes now to the New York Times, so I am done with it.
My streak info is intact, but I already played today and it doesn’t show today’s game like it normally would if I went back. Fortunately I took a pic of the game earlier.
I just checked mine... looks okay...
I will only say that today's word, the first word of the NYT-version of Wordle (officially) is fitting, and glad they used it on a Friday and not a Monday.
Re: MadisonMan "ulcer?" Now that's subtle...and just mean.
We are doomed.
Like George and the Frogger Machine.
Old Yiddish blessing: May the worst freakout of your life be a Wordle freakout.
My husband just read me an article about an elderly woman who would text her Wordle score to her daughters daily. One recent morning she didn't, and they - after trying to reach her without success - called police to request a wellness check.
No, she hadn't fallen and couldn't get up. She had been accosted in her home by a mentally ill person who threatened her with scissors and trapped her in her bathroom without her phone. Wordle saves lives!
Sure enough, now it redirects to The NY Times site. Our freebie days are numbered, no doubt.
So how long will the NYT keep wordle free? Or maybe they will force you to watch ads (and make sure you actually watch them).
My history got fucked up a few days ago but seems to have been restored.
It even forgot my entries when I took a break.
Now I screen-shot my words before I break.
Did it in 3 the last two days : )
When you Google it now, the meta-title says "Wordle -- The New York Times." And the word "Wordle" at the top of the daily puzzle is in the Times' font (the fact that I recognize it is a tribute to their decades of branding). But everything else about the game is exactly the same. It's still hosted at creator Josh Wardle's website (which has a British domain name for some reason), and the way the puzzle works hasn't changed at all. I imagine the Times doesn't want to mess with something so popular (for now, anyway) -- which is a wise decision, since it's so simple and virtually perfect that they could only make it worse. The next step, probably, will be only allowing Times subscribers to access it -- at which time, there really will be the white-and-nerdiest outcry of the 21st century.
It's literally too late. This "glitch" was the mask slipping exposing the man behind the curtain pulling the strings.
The ChiCom NYT regime has already read your facial expressions and taken retinal scans while you played.
Mission Accomplished.
The transition worked great for me, played from the original website just last night and again from the NYT website this afternoon:
Wordle 237 1/6
š©š©š©š©š©
I had to use all 6 Wordle lives today; turns out "urine" wasn't a good third guess--I already knew the 'e' wasn't at the end.
What a maroon.
Never played it. No desire to play it.
I've been having laptop problems and have been rotating among machines, so I don't have a clean streak record. Screwed up the very first one I did because I mixed up the green and gold squares. Haven't missed any since, after about a month. More than half at the fourth entry (I won't call them all guesses, though the first plainly is), most of the rest more or less equally at three or five. I don't remember it, but the stats say I got one at two. Got pushed to six for the first time a couple days ago.
Just started at the NYT site and wracked up a 1 by putting in the word I already knew was the answer. Don't mind the NYT connection because I've been paying for the crosswords for years (and have gone to/participated in a number of the ACP tournaments).
I should try to dig up my old Mastermind machine that, in all probability, one of my sisters gave me decades ago. Always got those and never bothered with the little sheets they provided to track your entries.
