Wordle does not work properly on FireFox. It does not recognize characters that I enter as valid characters in the solution of the day. This occurs quite frequently.

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Using Windows 10, 64 bit system. My problem with Firefox and Wordle is similar. Only the top (blank) squares are shown. The bottom half of the game, that shows letters of the alphabet used and remaining, does not appear and cannot be scrolled down. I know this is Firefox as I tried it on Google Chrome and it works just fine, with all elements appearing. Please fix.

I need to disable Enhanced Tracking Protection via the slider in the padlock drop-down list to make the Wordle page work properly. If you have other content blocking extensions then you may have to disable those as well.

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.

  • click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
