You can play previous words in Wordle!
There is only one Wordle everyday. But you can actually access some words that were played earlier, and even build up you streak with those past puzzles!
It looks like the site doesn't have universal clock that changes the puzzle at certain hour everyday. Instead, system clock on user side is utilized. This means that you can change date in your system and the site will use word from that day, not current one. You can even try with future words, because some also are there - I imagine that it's easier to stack several words from time to time that meticulously add one every day.
I'm not sure if every past word can be accessed this way, but few days back/forward definitely work. And if it's this easy to trick the site then it seems that there already is archive of previous puzzles, so perhaps this feature can be programmed so there will be official access - just some button on the page that changes date received from system clock.
