Losing the history happened to me with Wordle. I don’t know what triggered it but I resigned myself that I might have to make n account and then suddenly after a few weeks it came back and even remembered all the games during the break. Sorry that isn’t more helpful but there is hope it may come back on its own. ---

Eh, I have a paid account. You would still think it would β€œremember”. Going to reboot my phone, perhaps that will solve the issue.
