Is there a clone that keeps the old UI and the same answers? (Could possibly scrape the site or twitter posts to determine the answer each day) Wordle isn’t even gone and I already miss it.


I simply downloaded the HTML and rehosted it on my site: https://matthew.science/wordle.html


Crazy how this super simple webpage went insanely viral and is still light enough for anyone to copy and re-host.

Glad that some remnants of ye olde internet are still out there.


https://wordle.nyc

It’s a complete clone of the original Wordle site (which is just HTML, CSS and JS, without any server side code), and was posted here [1] a few weeks ago.

Great idea, but this link doesn't really work -- it always has the same secret word, because the Wayback Machine injects some JavaScript to make the Date function return a constant date (try running `console.log(new Date())`).

The link posted by @rossy (with "id_") works fine though.

("id_" stands for "identity" and means to return the original resource without rewriting the content, see https://pywb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/rewriter.html#i...)


Even better, you can add id_ to the URL to get the full page without the Wayback Machine banner, which saves screen space on mobile.
