The games are so fun but I just wish you could do more without a subscription!! I know they wouldn’t make any money that way but still, it’s annoying to be having so much fun and then be paused saying you have to pay to continue. Still recommend though…

Put the mini behind a paywall, so for me no reason to have this app anymore. What a horrible decision.

Fun game until they added the pay wall. Ridiculous.

Hey there! I would love it if there was a Pips archive, a full Spelling Bee archive, a Letter-Boxed archive and a Sudoku archive. Also would like badges for Strands like Spangram first or No Hints or streak badges. Maybe badges for Crossword, Letter-Boxed, Sudoku and Pips as well. Also it would be nice if the monthly bonus puzzles, the weekly Midis and Connections: Sports Editions were in the app, as well as any crosswords you link to in newsletters open in the app. Please take these suggestions into consideration.

Too many pop ups. Every time you open the app. Please. Stop. Please. Just let me play my silly little infuriating games without pop ups.
Mostly Meh.

It’s a fine app – it’s neither amazing nor bad. It does what it purports to and that is serve up games from the NYT. The one thing that could make this app better: allow the user to either 1) re-order the way the games are displayed w/the ones played most able to be shifted to the top or 2) toggle off the games that the user is not interested in or doesn’t play. The only game I use regularly is wordle – I don’t care about the rest and yet, I have to scroll down a bit to play. I know the other games exist, let me be in charge of how they are ordered or what is displayed.
