Transfering wordle content between devices

I meant to type more sorry.
If you go to chrome dev tools: application tab -> local storage -> nytimes.com
You can see where the keys are being persisted there now.
The important keys seem to be: 'nyt-wordle-moogle/ANON' and 'nyt-wordle-statistics'
If you can somehow construct those via json, then via javascript call the 'window.localStorage.setItem(key, jsonstr)' method, it might work. It might have to be implemented more as a bookmarklet, vs as a direct URL.
I was able to copy from one browser to another directly via the dev tools, didn't try to fancy it up. Worked between mobile devices as well via https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/remote-debugging/
Hope it helps, and hope chatting via github issues actually works.
@dearmash Any luck getting this to work? I had to reset my phone a week ago and lost my stats. I'm trying to figure out how to restore them before linking it up to an NYT account.
Thanks for the interest here, however I've moved on from Wordle so likely won't be implementing this. Closing this issue.
https://github.com/MageJohn/wordle-stats-mover has a nice bookmarklet for moving wordle stats like dearmarsh suggested above. I mention it here because the blog post comes up much more readily for me in internet searches than that bookmarklet (I had to do a GitHub search to find it; I couldn't find a working one with a general internet search).
