Can you provide a link to the site. Does the issue happen on the homepage? If not, provide steps to replicate.

Is today's answer PIVOT ?

(Just kidding)

Normally sites do not get confused about your display orientation with a "desktop" browser, so that's pretty odd. Hopefully someone will have a suggestion.

One thing you could try is to press Command + Option + M to switch to responsive design mode. This gives you options for different mobile devices in portrait or landscape mode. Does the site respond differently to any of those? You can leave the mode using the X button on the far right of its toolbar, or press Command + Option + M again.

IMPORTANT: Do not clear your cookies and site data for Wordle if you are not synchronizing your data with your NYTimes account. That will set all your stats back to 0.

I may never know why the issue happened, but it's gone. FYI the site was the main NYT Wordle page at https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html

I looked up various commands for rotation, but nothing would change. Since I was on a Mac Book and not a mobile, I wasn't sure if the Command + Option + M would work, and I thought I'd try some more basic trouble-shooting first. What seemed to fix it was restarting the whole computer, not just Firefox.

So thanks! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
