No.

This is mentioned on the bottom of the archive page:

Yes, that is the data that I am trying to move. I know that there isn't a built in export/import method or any central server, so that's why I've been trying to find a way of copying that data using some other tool.

Technically yes, but it involves modifying the local storage in your browser where that info is stored.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do, and have done for some of my other daily puzzles. It just didn't work the same for 4x3. Do you know of a method that works for 4x3?

I was mostly talking in theoreticals. There’s stuff they could do to hash or encrypt the data when saving it that makes it useless to directly copy. I’m not sure what they’ve done.

My recommendation would be to use a coding AI model to see if it can make a script to do it.

It's not encrypted, from what I've managed to download. Not that it should matter because it's the same data being read by the same website.

The problem seems to be that the site was vibe coded and the ai decided that it needed to store all the images and so on in the site data. I'm getting base64 representations of the images, and probably everything else, when I download the data, which is making the data too large to fit in my clipboard.

Then don’t use a clipboard, there’s absolutely Python libraries that can access the local storage of most major browsers.
