I cloned the original website (it’s just a bunch of JavaScript) once the NYT deal went through and still self-host it. I changed a bunch of the UI text, specifically removing all the references to “Wordle,” and I think it’s just me and my friends that use it. Still works!

Oh, right – I definitely scrubbed the tracking stuff too. I wonder if that’s how all the clones were being found?
