Ever since the popular online word-based puzzle game Wordle was acquired by The New York Times, many have been worried that they might have to start paying for the game once it goes behind a paywall.

So, if you have been worried that you may not get to enjoy this really fun game, worry not, we will show you how you can play Wordle free forever and that too, without any internet connection.

In reality, Wordle is a very small game that runs entirely on your browser. Twitter user Aaron Rieke posted about how the game exists inside your web browser and does not really need to connect to the internet for you to be able to play it. He proved it by sharing a screenshot of the source code of the game, which highlighted the entire future word list was in the web page itself. He said, “The daily words are right there in the code, in a giant list. There are thousands of them.”
