Pretty neat trick Wordle used to migrate everyone's saved game state: The main Wordle site was replaced with a bit of JS that grabs the game data from LocalStorage and puts it in the query string when redirecting to nytimes. Also notable: that code is vanilla JS, no libraries!

say... that gives me an idea... (Warning: don't click this if you haven't already migrated your actual wordle stats) Open this link and then look at your wordle stats page 馃搱 aaronpk.com/7i1BP

Alright now you can make up your own wordle stats for the nytimes version! Fill out the numbers with whatever you want, then click the link it generates! pin13.net/wordle-stats/

The way it was built is as fascinating as playing the game.
