The article also mentions this:

> February 10 was the last day Wordle was still available at its old site.

Which doesn't appear to be the case, it is still accessible at the powerlanguage address.

No it isn't. The powerlanguage address [1] redirects to the New York Times's version [2].

[1] https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/

[2] https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html

Picking at nits I know, but it is available via that site, not at it.

And via a cookie wall. From a quick scan of NYT's policy I got the impression clicking "reject" might only reject their direct tracking not that of 3rd parties, though I didn't have time to look in detail first time I was redirected, and I've not yet found the right combination of free time and inclination to nip back since, so I could have come to the wrong conclusion there.

That URL currently redirects to the NYT version of the game, although it's possible that browsers may continue to cache and display a previously-requested version of the page contents (avoiding a redirect, at least while the cache remains valid).
That's what I've got on my phone, hasn't redirected to new york times and still running the version on powerlanguage
The future appears to be unevenly distributed. Some get redirected some don’t.
Several people were redirected to the NYT version before I was, as discussed in my Wordle group. I suspect they did this as a gradual transition to validate the migration. I wasn’t redirected until yesterday.
