How to download and play Wordle for free forever

The New York Times bought Wordle this week, and fans are worried that the game may not remain free for long. However, this is how you can ensure that your downloaded version of the game remains free forever, even without an internet connection.

Wordle runs inside a web browser, accessible on any device with an internet connection. Once you've downloaded the browser page, the game will then be a local file on the device and will be able to run even after future changes.

For Mac computers open Worlde on Safari, and then right-click to save page as a Web Archive by changing the format before saving on the device.
