Sadly, it was fun while it lasted because one of the most popular <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/metzger.media\/games\/wordle-archive\/\"><em>Wordle<\/em> Archive websites<\/a> that let users play hundreds of previous daily <em>Wordles<\/em>\u00a0just got taken down at the request of the NYT.<\/p>\n<p>Die-hard Wordle fans have enjoyed the archive since as far back as January, but now the site has a big message that reads,\u00a0<em>\u201cSadly, the New York Times has requested that the Wordle Archive be taken down.\u201d<\/em> And unfortunately, this is where the fun ends.<\/p>\n<p>ArsTechnica first spotted the closure. However, keep in mind that it\u2019s still easy to find several other sites that\u2019ll let you play the <em>Wordle<\/em> archive, but we have a feeling some of those could get shut down next. A quick Google search shows that\u00a0\u201c<em>wordle<\/em> archive\u201d is the most popular search term for the game, making sense for the new owner to shut it down and kill any competition.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth mentioning that the <em>New York Times<\/em> spent upwards of $1 million to acquire the game, rights, and trademark, so they\u2019re well within their rights to shutter sites taking advantage of the game. That said, the company doesn\u2019t offer its own archive, which makes this situation even worse.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the New York Times plans to launch a <em>Wordle<\/em> Archive eventually. Or, perhaps this is just the first of many shutdowns for archives, copycats, and alternatives trying to get a piece of the <em>Wordle<\/em>-craze pie.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, it\u2019s still a fun game that\u2019s worth playing.
