Wordle's local timezone reset
Wordle is unique among NYT games—it resets at midnight in YOUR timezone, not a fixed time. This means players worldwide get new puzzles at different absolute times.
Traveling and timezones
If you travel across timezones, Wordle adjusts to your new location. This can mean getting a new puzzle early or having to wait longer than expected.
Protecting your streak
Set a daily reminder before midnight. If you're traveling, be aware of timezone changes that might affect when your puzzle resets.
