1. Hard refresh the page
Reload the Wordle page fully instead of trusting a tab that has been open for hours.
Why Is Wordle Not Working Today? Quick Fixes That Usually Work
Troubleshoot Wordle when the page will not load, the keyboard stops responding, the puzzle will not reset, or the game looks broken on your device.
Start With the Fastest Fixes
If Wordle is not working today, do not start with drastic browser changes. Most failures come from one of four places: stale cache, a stuck session, a device-side rendering issue, or a temporary service-side problem.
2. Open a private window
If the game works there, the problem is usually cache, cookies, or an extension conflict.
3. Check the date and timezone
If the daily puzzle has not rolled over, your device clock or cached page state may be wrong.
4. Try another device
If Wordle loads elsewhere, the issue is likely local to the current browser session.
Common reasons Wordle is not working today
- the page loads but the keyboard does not respond
- the puzzle does not reset at the expected time
- the board stays blank or partially rendered
- the page keeps serving an old daily state
- mobile or in-app browsers are choking on the game session
The most common scenario is a page-state problem, not a broken puzzle. Wordle runs as a modern web app, so cached assets, session state, and browser extensions can all interfere with normal behavior.
What to do if Wordle will not reset
First confirm your local date and timezone are correct. After that, fully reload the page and close any long-lived tabs that may still be serving cached content. A private window is the fastest way to verify whether the problem is local state or a wider outage.
What to do if the board or keyboard is broken
If the board appears but typing fails, the issue is often a browser extension conflict, a stale script, or a partial page load. Turn off aggressive blockers for the session, then reload.

FAQ
Why is Wordle not working today even though my internet is fine?
The most common causes are stale browser cache, a stuck session, a partial page reload, or a temporary New York Times-side issue rather than a broken connection.
Does clearing cache fix Wordle problems?
Sometimes. A hard refresh or clearing cached site files can fix cases where the board, keyboard, or daily state is stuck on an older version.
What if Wordle will not reset for the new day?
Check your local date, timezone, and whether the page is still serving an older cached state before assuming the next daily puzzle is unavailable.
