Isn't it?

The 100 GB free bandwidth from Github/Netlify would cover north of a million monthly page loads of Wordle (and many times that when you account for browser caching). AWS CloudFront's free tier would cover 10 million page loads/month.

Cloudflare pages currently doesn't even have a bandwidth cap on their free offering yet...

Wow. So it's free if he shut down the site last week?

Crazy how good your solution is. No, bandwidth is far from free.

He might have had to change hosting providers, and/or stick a new CDN in front, but for tiny (80 KB all told) client-side webapps like this with no database backend it's entirely feasible to host it for free pretty much indefinitely.

He uses Cloudflare.

Not all providers bill for network usage, you can also pay a flat fee for a fixed upload speed or a soft cap at a certain limit.
