The previously privacy worry-free Wordle puzzler now comes with ad-trackers. Here's how to kibosh them.
A clue to how The New York Times may look to monetize the puzzler was picked up bywho spotted some ad-trackers when playing online. This came as no surprise to me, not least as I had observed the same thing through my use of web browser extensions such as Ghostery and Privacy Badger as you can see below.
I have reached out to The New York Times for a statement and will update this article should one be forthcoming.In the meantime, you are probably wondering if you have any options other than either accepting trackers or not playing Wordle? Of course you do, for now. You can use the aforementioned advert and tracker blockers for your web browser, with other apps available for your smartphone.
Hold on, I hear you saying, that's OK for those folk who did so before the redirection to The New York Times site on February 10. Actually, it's OK for those who didn't as well because you can still perform the same bit of Wordle hacking now. At least for the time being, until such a time as the code itself gets locked down. This is down to Wordle still running on the client-side at the time of writing.
