How the date and puzzle number line up
The Wordle archive index lists May 5, 2024 as puzzle #1051, between #1050 on May 4 and #1052 on May 6. The answer and clues were reported contemporaneously by Yahoo Entertainment; its article was rate-limited when retrieved, so the report is not an independent verification from the original NYT puzzle page.
About the Wordle archive announcement
On May 7, 2024, The New York Times Company announced an official archive of more than 1,000 past Wordle puzzles for Games and All Access subscribers. That describes the archive at launch; it does not establish current subscription terms or availability. In the same announcement, the company said Wordle had tens of millions of players every week, a company-reported figure for 2024 rather than a current independently verified audience count.
