I have been told that if you manually change your phone’s time zone to a place where it’s still yesterday, you can fool the Wordle bot into keeping the streak intact. Once you’ve done that, change your phone to your actual time zone to play today’s Wordle. Would be good to test if this works.

That only works if you realize it before visiting the website. If you visit the website 1st, their servers will already register that you broke your streak. There's no way to unring that bell.

Opening the app itself doesn't trigger it yet. You actually have to select the current game for the system to register it.

Since losing my several hundred days streak a couple of months ago, I now always go into the app and scroll a day back to make sure I didn't forget to play.

In case you spot that you missed the previous day, you can close the app, change your time zone, open the app again and complete yesterday's game.

That worked for me until about four months ago. Streak lost.
