How do you avoid missing a Wordle day?
Give the puzzle a fixed slot in your day. Tie it to something you already do every morning or evening, like your first coffee or the commute home, and you'll rarely need to look up yesterday's Wordle answer again.
Here's the thing about streaks: they're fragile. One busy Tuesday and the counter drops to zero. These three habits help:
- Play at the same time each day, like with breakfast or on your commute.
- Log in to your NYT account so your streak follows you between phone and computer.
- Short on time? Open a hint early rather than skipping the day entirely.
Pro Tip
Replaying an old puzzle on its hint page won't touch your NYT stats, so it's a stress-free way to practise. Try to solve it in four guesses or fewer before you peek at the answer.

Yesterday's Wordle answer FAQs
When does today's Wordle become yesterday's?
At midnight in your own timezone. The moment a new puzzle starts, the old one moves here, because this page reads your device's date and always shows the puzzle from the day before yours.
Does missing a day break my Wordle streak?
Yes. Your streak counts the days in a row you've solved the puzzle, so skipping a day or running out of guesses resets it to zero. Games played and win percentage aren't wiped.
Why does my friend see a different answer for yesterday?
Because yesterday depends on where you live. Players ahead of you in time reach the next puzzle first, so for a few hours each night your yesterday is their today, or the other way round.
