Just for the sake of information, URL stands for Uniform Resource Location. In more simple terms, the web address you put on a browser is known as a URL. So technically, you have to modify the website address yourself in the following way.

The URL format on your address bar should be like this: nerdlegame.com/classic/yyyymmdd. Y stands for Year, M stands for Month, and D stands for date.

So, suppose you want to play the game of 28th April, 2022, your URL structure should be: nerdlegame.com/classic/20220428

That’s it, now you can play the Nerdle game of any day you wish just for fun. But keep in mind that playing this way will not increase your streak since you are playing backdate.

Method 2: Use the Web Archive

The Web Archive, also known as the Wayback Machine is a popular lookback tool that lets you see the previous version of websites. As the name suggests, the Wayback Machine, takes you days back when the pages got indexed on Google and that got cached on the servers of Web Archive. If this feels too technical, don’t worry. The Wayback Machine lets you see the older versions of the pages when they were first found. So you can play the old Nerdle games of your choice whenever you wish.

However, there’s a catch. Since the World Wide Web is so huge, the Web Archive is unable to cache everyday results. That means, you will have to look out and find the game it has. In the end, you will have no choice but to play the Old Nerdle game it has captured. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Go to this site.
  2. Enter nerdlegame.com in the address bar and press Enter.
  3. Now you will see a calendar-like interface with some dates having blue or red spots. Those blue or red spots are the days when Nerdle was discovered by Wayback Machine.
  4. Click on that date and you will able to see 2 to 3 snapshots. Nerdle Archive: How to Play Old Nerdle Games
