Wordle for Mac

Play Wordle locally without needing the internet

Wordle is a simple, free word puzzle in which you try to discover a hidden five-letter word. You get up to six guesses and there’s no timer — but only one puzzle is issued each day. This offline variant copies the game to your device so you can play without an active connection. The look, the mechanics, and the daily puzzle cadence remain the same as the online version.

What the downloaded copy includes

• The same daily challenge format: one mystery word per day.
• Identical rules and feedback (correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters).
• No requirement to be online while playing.
• The ability to share your completed-grid results — though posting them requires a connection.
• A preserved interface so the experience matches the web edition.

Options for saving the game to your device

If you want to keep a local copy, there are two common approaches:

• Install a packaged offline version if one is provided for your platform; it places the game files on your device so JavaScript runs locally.
• Save the web page from your browser to retain the playable code. The exact method depends on the browser: on macOS Safari, saving as a “Web Archive” preserves the interactive script; in Chromium-based browsers and Firefox, saving the page as “Web Page, complete” or a similar option usually keeps the necessary files.

Either method lets the game continue cycling to the next daily puzzle just like the online release because the puzzle logic is retained locally.

Should you download a personal copy?

If you enjoy the original Wordle, keeping a local version is useful — especially when you expect to be offline or want a permanent, free copy. Because The New York Times purchased the original game, some users worry about future access changes; maintaining a saved copy is one way to ensure continued play at no cost. Remember, you can play entirely offline, but sharing your results or posting streaks will require an internet connection.
