Wordle is a daily puzzle, which means once a day is gone, that puzzle is gone too. But what if you want to play older Wordle puzzles or try the ones you missed? Well, yes, you can play past Wordle puzzles. There is an official way to play more than 1000 past Wordles, but there’s a catch. Here’s everything you need to know about how to play past Wordle, what will happen to your streak, and more.

Can You Play Past Wordle Puzzles?

Yes, you can play past Wordle puzzles on The New York Times official Wordle archive page.

The New York Times offers access to over 1,000 old Wordle puzzles through its archive feature. You can even save your history. That means if you play past Wordle puzzles from the archive, they won’t just disappear; they’ll be added to your overall stats, just like the daily puzzle.

However, this is not free. You need an active subscription to access and play past Wordle puzzles. If you’re using the free version of Wordle, you’ll still get just one new puzzle per day. Subscription starts at $4/month or about $50 per year for an individual.

Did you know you can also play Wordle with Friends? Yes, we found some easy workarounds.

What About Wordle Streak?

Your Wordle streak shows how many days in a row you’ve solved the daily puzzle correctly. You can check your Wordle streak by tapping on the stats icon after completing a puzzle.

The streak only counts when you play the daily Wordle. Playing past puzzles from the archive does not increase your streak, but those games are still saved in your stats. Basically,  streaks are only counted based on the puzzle you play on the day of release.

Also, puzzles must be solved before midnight local time to be included in the current streak. So, if you miss a day or fail to solve the puzzle, your streak resets to zero. There’s no official way to recover a broken streak, so you have to start again.

Although if you ever get stuck on a game and don't wanna break your streak, you can bookmark today’s and yesterday's Wordle answers to continue your streak.

However, your max streak (highest streak ever) is still saved, so you can always try to beat your previous record.
