      I guess it’s time to find another free alternative

      Less than two minutes searching on GitHub. Pick your poison!

        Yep, there are a lot of clones the game. Even malicious ones.

      There’s a way to save the page because its just JavaScript and enough puzzles until 2024 apparently. There are clones but the fun part is everyone competing on the same puzzle.

    I still don’t know what wordle is but I know this is probably the fall of wordle.

    Of course they would. Bastards. They’re just going to lump it behind their expensive subscription that gives you access to their games.

      yeah probably that is going to happen soon.

      But as other users have mentioned, you can save the website and play it offline. There are also a lot clones of the game as well.

        Already saved! I just wonder how it’s going to work if it isn’t updated? Maybe the author developed it so it always pulls a random work every day?

          I am not really sure about this but I think all the words are stored in the code itself.

    Do you think they’ll continue giving it for free?

    I mean, I guess it’s kinda related to their famous crossword.
