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!

Also, it didn’t work for me 😛 lost all the stats. Wondering if it’s a Safari thing

Also, if you try to force the transfer to repeat, by navigating again to the old URL, it will still not transfer data, and wipe your new stats in the process. They don’t seem to have put much thoughts on edge cases 😛
