I pay their $4.99/month subscription for access to their "Games" package solely because it includes access to their full archive of daily crosswords (going back to 1993).
If they add a similar "archive" of the daily Wordles and allow payed users to replay past puzzles, that could presumably provide new value to them by enticing more paying customers.
FYI, there's already an archive that's free to use. [1] Although it shows basic stats, I was surprised that it doesn't show stats on how many guesses you took.
