Due to the sale of Wordle, some people are worried about losing the game.

Nearly everyone I know (including myself) plays Wordle each and every day. It's a fun and addicting word puzzle, in which you get six tries to guess a five-letter word, assisted by green and yellow tiles that show you how many letters you get correct. You get to play one round each day and then share your results to social media. Or if you're feeling extra, you can wear your Wordle score around your neck.

The game has become bigger than life, which is why the New York Times recently bought Wordle for an undisclosed low seven-figures. And while that isn't bad news in itself, there's a fear that the subscription-based news site might hide the game behind a paywall sometime soon.

In a statement posted to Twitter, Wordle creator Josh Wardle said, "When the game moves to the NYT site, it will be free to play for everyone, and I am working with them to make sure your wins and streaks are preserved."

However, if you're still anxious about losing your daily Wordle fix, there's a way to continue playing for free -- forever. (Well, maybe closer to five more years of daily words.)

Twitter user Aaron Rieke recently posted a thread explaining how Wordle runs entirely in your web browser. Technically you don't need the internet to play Wordle, because all of the game's future daily words are included right in the webpage. If you download all the parts of the Wordle site, you could in theory play Wordle every day for years without an internet connection; the game only needs your device's current date to deliver a new word puzzle.

Here's how to download Wordle on your computer or smartphone so that it's free to play no matter what happens.
