If you have ended up resetting your browser without creating an NYT account, unfortunately, that means your stats are gone for good and cannot be recovered.
What to Do if Streak is Lost?
While you will need to start over, there’s a way you can ensure you don’t lose your streak and score again on PC, iPhone, and Android phones. Make sure to log in or create an account on NY Times to ensure that your Wordle stats are saved. If you play without logging in, your score, stats, and streak data won’t be saved in case you end up clearing your browser history.
Even if you change your device or browser, once you log into your NYT account, you will be able to access your stats.
How to Prevent Loss of your Wordle Score in the Future?
- Players who are playing without logging into a NY times account, avoid deleting your browser cookies and cache because that’s how the website “remembers” your stats.
- Avoid playing via the incognito mode because that gives you a fresh start every time you play, so your score won’t be saved.
- Lastly, avoid using any third-party plugin, app, or extension that will clear browser cookies automatically.
