Is there a clone that keeps the old UI and the same answers? (Could possibly scrape the site or twitter posts to determine the answer each day) Wordle isn’t even gone and I already miss it.

  Even better, you can add id_ to the URL to get the full page without the Wayback Machine banner, which saves screen space on mobile. https://web.archive.org/web/20220201003547id_/https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ https://web.archive.org/web/20220201003547id_/https://www.po...

  Great idea, but this link doesn't really work -- it always has the same secret word, because the Wayback Machine injects some JavaScript to make the Date function return a constant date (try running `console.log(new Date())`). The link posted by @rossy (with "id_") works fine though. ("id_" stands for "identity" and means to return the original resource without rewriting the content, see https://pywb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/rewriter.html#identity-modifier-id https://pywb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/rewriter.html#i...)

  Crazy how this super simple webpage went insanely viral and is still light enough for anyone to copy and re-host. Glad that some remnants of ye olde internet are still out there.
