I've been looking through so many clones (and I expect we'll see even more coming now) for a self-hosted alternative that also only has a single daily word that you can play only once. Some come very close, but all allow you to replay the same game multiple times, and that takes away the competitive part I have going with some friends (yes I suppose you could just switch browsers too).
But as Wordle is actually locally executed Javascript, and it's collection of words are also stored there, you can save the whole Javascript package to a folder, and just click to open the page file to continue playing the game as it exists right now. I tested this with Firefox and Edge browsers, and it worked fine. Brave however has some block for local files, so it did not work with that browser.
To do it:
* Go to the Wordle online page.
* Right-click and choose "Save Page" or "Save As".
* Then choose "Web page, Complete" (this ensures not just the page itself is downloaded, and includes supporting Javascript files).
* Save it to a location on your computer.
* To play it, just use your file explorer to find that download location, and double-click on the single html file to open it in your browser.
* You can bookmark that newly opened page to always find it easily.
Always use the same browser, otherwise, you will lose your stats history.
