Sites that created Wordlearchives have been pressured by the New York Timesto shut down. That means there's no longer any way to access the full archive, but we’ve provided a list of the past two weeks' Wordleanswers for you to see what words have just been used, and help plan your Wordlestrategy going forward.

The free daily word game Wordleblew up in popularity at the start of 2022 despite not having an app and only allowing players to tackle one puzzle per day. Both were intentional choices, as Wordle founder Josh Wardle told the BBC, so fans couldn't spend too much time on it. As such, previous puzzles aren't available through the official website.

"Wordleis very simple and you can play it in three minutes — and that is all you get," Wardle said in his BBCinterview. "There are also no ads and I am not doing anything with your data — and that is also quite deliberate."

What is today's Wordle?

You can find clues and the answer for today's Wordleright here.

Why was the Wordle Archive shut down?

Since the acquisition last year, the NYThas moved to safeguard what is now its wholly owned intellectual property by placing pressure on Wordleaffiliates to shut down their "unauthorized" recreations of the game's earlier daily puzzles, starting with the Wordle Archive in March. By the beginning of June 2022, all of the best-known ways to play Wordleoutside of the NYTwebsite were gone, including the game's original, pre-acquisition home.

While there's no guarantee that the game will remain freely available for non-NYT subscribers to access, it hasn't slipped behind the paywall yet. It's also unknown whether the NYT will one day build an archive of its own so that players can play through old Wordle puzzles.
