Wordle could have used copy to clipboard or link to share eg. Twitter https://twitter.com/home?status=blabla

Wordle does use copy-to-clipboard.

No it doesn’t. The share button opens a native share dialog, which is only possible with the web share API.

For me, tapping Share pops up a toast message saying "Copied results to clipboard", and then I go to my family group messaging thread and paste the results. I know that it's possible to invoke the native share dialogue because Reddit does it, but for me, Wordle does not.

Firefox on Android.

Sounds like Firefox hasn't implemented the API. No surprise, Firefox is always miles behind on stuff users actually want. It works with the native share box on Edge Android.

You misunderstand. Firefox has implemented the API, because it works on Reddit and other websites.

Same for me, Chrome on Windows 11.
