Overview

Wordle is a free-to-play word puzzle that quickly after its launch in late 2021 became a worldwide phenomenon, attracting millions of players hungry for fun daily challenges. Originally created by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle as the homage to the 1955 pen-and-paper game Jotto and the TV puzzle show Lingo, this game was quickly acquired by The New York Times Company.

The core gameplay loop of Wordle for Windows PC is to provide a grid of letters, enabling all players just six attempts to guess a five-letter word. There is a built-in hint system that indicates when letters are in the correct position, giving players a strong hint of their progress. The game also provides users a way to copy their finished grid in a form of emoji squares, which can be easily shared on social media. Today, in early 2023, the game is hosted for free on The New York Times website.

While the game is built to be played online in a web browser, there is actually a way to download it and play it locally, without the need for an internet connection. All those users need to do is to save the full webpage on their local storage. This will preserve the entire game on their PC, enabling them to play the full version of the game even after they solve the daily puzzle. The following day’s hidden worlds are present in the downloaded code, enabling them to continue playing each day without any issues.

Even the share button for saving the emoji icons is present, providing a 100% full experience to offline players. However, one limitation remains. Even the local version of the game is bound by its programming, allowing players to get access to only one new puzzle every day.

Wordle is a very simple but addictive FREE puzzle game that can be played both online and locally. Users can download and store a complete copy of the original web game and play it whenever they wish. But no matter which version is played, only one word per day can be accessed.
