Wordle, despite its incredible spike in popularity, is still a very young game. The word game originally launched in October 2021 and has perhaps already peaked. To its credit, The New York Times struck while the iron was hot, acquiring Wordle in January. Since then, however, the transition of Wordle to the NYT platform has been slow and without much reward. It seems development is finally moving forward, however, as the NYT has confirmed a major feature is soon to be implemented.

In a message shared on Twitter, The New York Times confirmed that a major feature is soon to be implemented for Wordle players. This feature will allow gamers, regardless of what platform or device they use to play Wordle, to link their game with a NYT account. Existing NYT accounts or new accounts will work, so allWordle players will be able to use this feature.

Linking a NYT account will preserve a player's Wordle stats, including the win streak. Wordle players will never have to worry about accidentally deleting a cookie and losing all their hard work again. Linked accounts will ensure stats are preserved for the duration of the account.

The next aspect of the upcoming Wordle update is the ability to play across multiple platforms. Wordle players who have swapped between devices before know that each one has its own stats and streak. It can be frustrating to not keep one's progress across all devices. That will change after being linked to a NYT account. So long as each device links Wordle to a NYT account, progress will be shared across all devices.
