Wordle has conquered the world of word puzzles in a short time and got a big audience although it was not a downloadable game. It is a strict game in which you can only solve one puzzle a day in six given trials within a few minutes. It’s sad for Wordle fans that they can only play it once and can’t access previous puzzles via the official website. There has always been this question if you can play previous wordle Puzzles?
There have been several unofficial Wordle archives that have stored all the past and previous puzzles two of the popular ones developed by Devang Thakkar and Noah Metzger. Unfortunately, they are taken down by The News. Still stay hopeful, as we have managed to bring you easy ways to play previous wordle puzzles and enjoy the game anytime.
Unofficial Wordle Archive by Taq Karim
There’s still one Wordle Archive to bring rejoice to Wordle players by allowing them to play the game simply by entering the specific date and playing the puzzle of that respective date. However, it’s still not sure for long this archive will sustain as Karim himself says
“If Wordle ever changes their implementation of how the answer logic works which to be honest I think they probably will, this tool will break”
However, until it ends enjoy the game!
Using the Wayback Machine
Another way to play the past Wordle puzzles is to use the trusty Internet Wayback Machine. Using this, you can access Wordle puzzles as far back as October 15, 2021. For this you’ll have to feed the original Wordle web address into the Wayback Machine otherwise it will auto-direct you to the official Wordle homepage.
