Wordle fans will be pleased to learn that New York Times Games has released an exciting update. You may have noticed that you cannot save your stats if you play on multiple devices. This means that if you play on both a desktop and a mobile device, your Wordle streak will be different on each. As a result, you may not have much of a streak at all, and it’s not your fault — after all, playing on a phone for just one day will ruin your desktop streak, and vice versa. This can be quite infuriating, especially if you’ve been playing since the game’s initial popularity burst in early 2022.
The upcoming change was announced in a tweet by the publication. Some may argue that this has been long overdue. Since purchasing Wordle at the end of January 2022, the New York Times has gradually integrated the popular browser game into its Games platform, where it now sits alongside NYT classics such as the Spelling Bee and the Crossword. Many people expected something like this to happen after Wordle was officially moved to the NYT website. How will the new stat-saving functionality function?
You’ll be able to play Wordle on all of your devices
Although New York Times Games has not provided specific dates, it appears that this functionality is currently being rolled out — some users may already have access to it, while others may have to wait a little longer. The entire procedure appears to be very simple. Your Wordle stats will be linked to your existing New York Times account, and your scores should sync across platforms.
Although many users were concerned about a possible paywall following the NYT’s acquisition of Wordle, it appears that this is not happening — at least not yet. According to the New York Times, free accounts will be able to sync their stats as well, which means you won’t have to subscribe to NYT Games in order to keep your Wordle streaks.
It’s important to note that once you link your Wordle stats to an account, you can’t unlink them. Once your stats have been saved and synced, all you have to do is log in on your preferred device to continue your streak across all platforms. However, as some users reported in the comments section of the NYT’s tweet, if multiple people in your household play Wordle, you should exercise caution. Syncing your data to a single account may result in the deletion of the progress of other people on your network.
