Is There A Working Wordle Archive?
Right now, isn't an active Wordle Archive that we're aware of. The last, which you can see right here, lasted three months before it was, like the rest, asked to shut down by the powers that be.

Why Are Wordle Archives Disappearing?
At the moment, Wordle archives are in the news plainly because they keep going missing. One of the biggest, imaginatively named "Wordle Archive", was wiped from the internet on March 16. It was a playable archive of old Wordle puzzles, where you could pick a date and play that challenge as it was on the original site.
However, the page now displays a message saying that the NYT requested they terminate the service. It's likely due to copyright claims, given the media company now owns Wordle and its contents. As such, unofficially hosting old Wordle puzzles was likely a violation, hence its deletion.
How Do I Play Old Wordle Puzzles?
If you used Wordle archive sites and still want the chance to play previous challenges, the good news is there's still a way. It's admittedly more time consuming than simply using Wordle archive sites, but given they keep disappearing, this is a method that will withstand the test of time.
Simply head to your device's calendar settings, then change the date on your device to a day of your liking in the past. Then refresh the Wordle website, and you should see one of those historic challenges to undertake. Remember to reset your calendar settings afterwards, though!
That's it for our guide on the current state of Wordle archive websites, as well as our own collection of previous answers. Be sure to check out our Heardle song guide and Wordle 2 word list for help in two of the biggest Wordle spin-offs as well. That way the fun doesn't have to end!
