Free and offline Wordle version

Wordle is a free word game from Josh Wardle that challenges the players to guess a five-letter secret word. However, you only have six tries before the game ends. Moreover, there is only one word per day, making the session short if you guess it quickly.

The original Wordle is a web game that requires the internet and a browser. This version downloads a copy of the game to your device, allowing you to play it without connecting online. Everything will be the same, from the interface to the rules. This means you only have one word per day. 

Save the game on your device

Wordle is a word puzzle game with simple mechanics. Every day, players are given a five-letter word that they need to guess. There is no time limit to the game. However, players will have to guess the word in six tries or less. The game is relatively new, but its challenging nature attracted the players’ attention. To date, countless players have been sharing their results on Twitter every day.

Due to its popularity, The New York Times has bought the rights to the game from its creator. With this, some think that the game will no longer be playable for free in the future. Thankfully, there are ways for you to keep it free. You can download this version to save a copy without visiting the website. You can also save the webpage from your browser.

Note, however, that saving the webpage depends on the browser you use. For instance, if you are using Safari, you need to save it as a web archive to preserve the Javascript. For Chrome and Firefox, you can save it as a web page. Players do not need to worry as the experience will be the same, with the game cycling to the new puzzle every day like the original game.

Should you download it?

If you are a fan of the original Wordle game, this app is for you. This version allows you to play the game without an internet connection. Everything will be the same, so it feels like you are playing the web game. You can even share your results on social media, although you will have to go online. Best of all, it is playable for free, forever.
