App Features and Games:

NEW: STRANDS

Our latest game lets you find hidden words and uncover the day’s theme. It’s the word search you know, with a twist.

WORDLE

Play the original Wordle — created by Josh Wardle — in our app. Guess the 5-letter word in 6 tries or less, and analyze your guesses with WordleBot.

SPELLING BEE

Is scrambling your strong suit? Play the daily Spelling Bee and see how many words you can make with 7 letters.

THE CROSSWORD

Subscribers can play the same daily puzzle that’s printed in The New York Times, in our app. Crosswords increase in difficulty throughout the week, so there’s something for everyone.

CONNECTIONS

Group words with a common thread in four mistakes or fewer. Analyze every puzzle with Connections Bot to see how your skills stack up.

SUDOKU

Looking for a numbers game, minus the math? Play Sudoku and fill each 3x3 set of boxes with numbers 1–9. Play a new puzzle every day in easy, medium or hard mode.

THE MINI CROSSWORD

The Mini is all the fun of The Crossword, but you can solve it in seconds. These word games don’t increase in difficulty throughout the week and feature simpler clues.

TILES

Unwind while you match elements in the day’s pattern — the key is to make consecutive matches.

LETTER BOXED

Create words using letters around the square. Letter Boxed is another fun way to test your word-making skills.

STATS

Track your progress for The Crossword, Wordle and Spelling Bee. For The Crossword, monitor your average solve times, see how many puzzles you can solve in a row, and more. Plus follow your streak on Wordle, and track how often you reach each level in Spelling Bee.
