Wordle’s new home is off to a very rocky start, has your streak totally gone?

Wordle’s new home is off to a very rocky start, has your streak totally gone?

The New York Times’ new version of Wordle launched on Thursday in their new URL, but like most game launches these days it has not been the best and kind of messy for NYT to change all of the metadata from the previous game to the new URL. There have been many issues with the game like this. Win streaks were not carried over from the old Wardle URLs to the New World URL on the New York Times website, Even though The New York Times promised that they would take all of the winning streaks and Carry it over to the new URL based on their website, They honestly did not do anything About that, and we feel like they have lost some good players in this process.

After this game was launched on Thursday, the New York Times also identified a new problem that was affecting users’ current streak information. For the users being affected, their current streak was being reset to one after completing Thursday’s Word following the redirect of the URL. But then later, the New York Times diploid affects around 7:00 PM Eastern Time on Thursday.

They also went on to address the streak reset issues for people who visited this website between 2:30 PM Eastern Time and 7:00 PM Eastern Time. The New York Times still believes that the streaks and statistics are carried over for the vast majority of the players, but they also did note that they were seeing many reports of users continuing to have issues, and they are investigating and engaging with these users playing. (Even though the launch has been a rocky start, it is really good to see Support available for a free game)

Also, a big reason why the New York Times isn’t able to fix this issue, because this data was not stored and is not stored on Wardell servers or not on New York Times servers either, but it was stored on the local storage on the user’s device associated with the browser they used to play the game and the URL with they play the game. To make sure that your Wordle data does move over to the New York Times website. Now you should go to their previous website and when you are redirected to the New York Times website, your data will also be redirected to the new site. Some Wardle players will also experience a repeat of the same puzzle on Friday as they have already solved it by solving the puzzle again, won’t affect their streaks, and could also give you an extra solve for free.

Although this game is free right now, we are sure that they are not going to be taking it behind a paywall anytime soon, but they will be doing it in the future years because Doing it now will decrease the brand reputation, and doing it later people will just forget about it.
