Troubleshooting

How to fix Wordle not working

Wordle is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach nytimes.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Is Wordle down right now?

    Check the Wordle server status: operational, with 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours and 7 outage reports in that period. If Wordle is not working today, open it in a private tab and reload the puzzle, since an old cookie or saved page can block the current grid.

  2. Wordle down detector and browser fix

    The Wordle down detector can show a wider problem when reports rise together, while one failed page usually points to your browser. On Safari for iPhone, clear Wordle site data, then reopen the puzzle page; Chrome users can use Site settings to clear the same data.

  3. Network and DNS check

    Check Wordle network status first. Switch from Wi-Fi to cellular data, or restart your router, if the puzzle will not load; this also helps answer is Wordle working on your connection. For searches about Wordle outage today 2026, compare the report count with 7 and the last outage time, more than 24 hours ago, before changing DNS.

Error messages

About

What happens when Wordle goes down

Wordle is the daily puzzle from The New York Times. Uptime matters when a failed load can break your daily streak. If you search "is Wordle down right now", this page compares reports with the live service state.

A Wordle outage can leave the grid blank or stop your result from saving, so a failed page does not always mean your connection caused the problem. 7 user reports came in over the last 24 hours, while Wordle had 100.00% uptime for that period.

Checked from our server in Frankfurt, Germany, 2 days ago, for www.nytimes.com. A service behind a CDN answers from many data centres, usually the one nearest to you, so these addresses are where its traffic enters, not where its own servers stand. Visitors elsewhere may see different addresses.

Checked from 11 places around the world

All 11 locations got an answer from www.nytimes.com. 9 of the answers turned the automated check away (HTTP 403), which many sites do with bots; the site itself was up. Fastest from Milan (45 ms), slowest from Warsaw (462 ms). Every location connected through Fastly, Inc. (AS54113), using 4 different addresses.

Questions

Wordle FAQ

Is Wordle down right now?
Wordle is currently marked operational, based on 7 outage reports filed in the last 24 hours, while the page records 100.00% uptime over that period. That crowd-sourced signal can show a local problem before a wider failure appears, so check the game in a private browser window and compare your result with the latest reports. If you searched 'is Wordle down' or 'is Wordle down right now', this page gives the current read instead of a guess. The last recorded outage was more than 24 hours ago.

What is the Wordle server status?
The current Wordle server status is operational. Our Wordle network status combines the live service result with 7 reports from the past 24 hours, which helps separate a broad failure from a problem on one connection. A page that loads but will not accept a guess can point to a browser session or network issue rather than a full outage. Check again after clearing the page cache or switching connections.

Why is Wordle not working today?
If Wordle not working today is the problem, first reload the puzzle and test another browser, since stale page data can block the game even when the service is up. A wider problem is more likely when several people report failed loads or missing results at the same time. Search results for 'Wordle outage today 2026' may lag behind the live reports here, so check operational before changing anything on your device. Your connection, browser extensions, or an account session can also stop the puzzle from loading.

How do I check if Wordle is down?
Use this Wordle down detector to compare the current service label with recent crowd-sourced reports. Search for 'is Wordle working', review operational, and check whether the report count is rising from 7. You can also test Wordle on a second connection, because one blocked network can look like a wider outage. If both tests fail and reports keep arriving, the service may be down; if only one setup fails, the problem is probably local.

How we track Wordle

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Wordle, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Wordle, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Wordle's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
