Delete and reinstall third-party browsers
If you have not yet been able to reset your Wordle streak, delete and reinstall third-party browsers. A clean installation can help you delete existing data and start over.
Last resort: Factory reset your iPhone or Android device
I do not think you should resort to this radical solution. But if the lady’s luck does not smile to yourself after trying the above solutions, it would be worth giving it a try.
Keep in mind that the effect of factory setting is different on iOS and Android. While the former only allows you to remove all the existing settings and not your media and data, the latter deletes all data on your device and returns the phone back to its original state. So go ahead with this solution with these repercussions in mind.
On iPhone or iPad: Launch the Settings app -> General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone / iPad -> Reset -> Reset All Settings.
On Android: Open the Settings app -> Additional settings -> Backup & reset -> Delete all data (factory reset).
Note that the factory setting process may vary slightly from one Android device to another. So do not get confused. After deleting your device, configure it as new. While you may want to consider how important Wordle is to you, you should resort to such a step just to clear Wordle streak on your phone.
Bonus: Use incognito mode
If you simply do not want to track your Wordle streak or statistics on an ongoing basis, just play the game in incognito mode. This has several benefits.
- Your Wordle stats will be reset each time because it is incognito and all you have to do is close the tab after completing your game.
- You can try Wordle as many times as you want. If you are exhausting your 6 attempts and have not figured out the word, just close the incognito session and reopen Wordle in another incognito tab and you will get a new attempt on today’s Wordle.
