What time does Wordle reset?
Wordle resets at midnight in your local time zone, so the new word appears as soon as your own clock rolls into the next day. Clue Cache publishes its Wordle hints just after midnight Eastern, which means they are already waiting when Central, Mountain and Pacific players flip.
The reset time
Those four midnights are not one single moment. Eastern players flip first in the United States, then Central an hour later, Mountain an hour after that, and Pacific an hour after that. If a friend across the country already has the new word and you do not, your own midnight has probably not arrived yet.
When Clue Cache publishes: our Wordle hints go up minutes after the midnight Eastern rollover, so they are ready before the Central, Mountain and Pacific flips.
Questions
- Does Wordle reset at the same moment for everyone?
No. Wordle follows your local clock, so players in different time zones get the new puzzle at different moments. Everyone in the same time zone on the same date plays the same word.
- It is past midnight and I still see yesterday's word. What should I do?
Reload the game or close and reopen the app. If it still shows the old word, check that your device clock and time zone are set correctly, since the game reads the time from your device.
- What happens to my streak if I have not solved by midnight?
Finish before your local midnight. Once your clock rolls over, the game moves on to the new word and the unfinished day counts as missed.
