If you have a second browser that you don't use to play Wordle, you might try the following method:
1. close all browsers​
2. reset the date on your device to the date you want to play​
3. open your non-Wordle browser​
4. play the game​

In the olden days, this used to work without changing browsers.
I suspect that they at some point installed a cookie that monitors the games we've played, so you have to use a browser not tainted with the latest game number.

I once did an experiment where I altered the time stamp to see how the global numbers changed over a 24 hour period. No problem whatsoever.
Then, about 2 years ago, I tried this sneaky trick, and it totally messed up my statistics @ the NYT.

I just now tried it using my least used browser, and it worked, without messing up my stats.

....

Just went back and tried it again with my alternate browser and the NYT blocked me from continuing.
I closed the browser, opened it back up, cleared all cookies, played the game, and the NYT let me see all of the normally paid for data. (I have a subscription: $300 per year!)

I've done this a lot but can't remember which date I changed. The OS probably. I also think there's an official wordle page where you can solve old puzzles.

A friend once learned us how to make a contraption bending a piece of steel in a certain pattern which you could stick into the coin slot and turn as many times as you liked. Free games. Needless to say we became unpopular fast.

EDIT: Of course that kind of thing wont fly anymore.
EDIT2: As for startes there are no arcade machines anymore!
EDIT3: Which reminds me I have the complete arcade ROM collection. It's like 10 DVDs. As each game is around 128kb I have never unpacked more than one.

EDIT: Had I used my brain just a little I would have guessed HATER in #2, if not outright LATER and been done in 2. I have no idea where EATER came from or what purpose I thought it would serve!

EDIT2: BTW, one of the employees explained why copy/paste is disabled and it actually makes sense. Of course I've forgotten all about it now.

It'd almost sad for you (though perhaps also good) that your parents are so tech-savvy that you can't circumvent the limits they set up. And watch out, if you were even able, I suspect they're so savvy they'll find out one way or the other!

I sincerely hope I haven't abused your trust revealing that your parents are so adept. I suspect they'll have to be with a "problem child" such as you. :woot:

EDIT: I tried to find a trope specific to parental control on computers or internet but came up blank. Thus this "catch it all"-trope.

Good grief Charlie Brown, my half baked little system of eliminating letters let me down completely. Although looking back I did choose some unlikely words three times in a row. On the other hand I have improved a lot since the aphasia. ?:)

Oh no, I tried, trust me there are many ways of circumventing, but not many such that they won't realise I've circumvented their controls.
Either way, I don't spend much time on my phone anyway. It's basically just a ton of whatsapp. So it's not super annoying...

Maybe I should start playing wordle at midnight more often though!
