> [@Fugazi](#): > > After having all my progress including stats and streaks wiped out of my browser again, I’ve finally gotten smart and switched to another browser. Hopefully this one will do better. (Firefox to Edge if anyone is curious) I learned that the Wordle stats are stored in your local storage, and I believe the only way to clear local storage is to do it manually, and/or change a setting in your browser so it clears local storage. So perhaps there is something you are doing to clear disc space on your computer that is including local storage, or you have your browser set to clear local storage? ---
