One of the most annoying aspects of the online puzzle game is the fact that you can't link your Wordle statistics to your NYT account.

If you want to keep your streak going, you have to play the game on the same browser and the same device. The New York Times said on its Games account that your streak and statistics will sync across all the devices you play Wordle on.

Soon you will be able to link your Wordle statistics to a NYT account. The option wasn't live for me when I checked Tuesday's puzzle in Chrome on my laptop and inSafari on my phone. You can't reverse the process if you link your statistics.

If you don’t see the option to link your account on the device where you play Wordle every day, hold on tight! The feature is coming to you soon.



Once stats are linked to a New York Times account, this process cannot be reversed. Happy solving!
