No longer included in subscription to Athletic
I have had a subscription to the Athletic for a long time now and Games was included with it, it no longer is. Sadly cancelled it.
Description
Keep your mind sharp with word and logic puzzles from New York Times Games. Free to download, the app offers new puzzles daily for every skill level.
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.
CONNECTIONS
Group words with a common thread. See if you can do it with four mistakes or fewer.
SUDOKU
Looking for a numbers game, minus the math? Play Sudoku and fill each 3x3 set of boxes with numbers 1 to 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 puzzles 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.
LEADERBOARDS
Start a friendly competition with The Mini leaderboards. Add up to 25 friends to see who can solve today’s Mini puzzle the fastest.
PUZZLE ARCHIVE
Subscribers can now solve over 10,000 past puzzles from Wordle, Spelling Bee and The Crossword.

This game works well on my iPad (iOS 16) but I can’t see the new games on the iPhone…
Patty
First place I go is to NYT games…I’ve been a subscriber for as years as NYT has been online! Perfect pastime to empty my mind…
Thanks
This is the best puzzle/game app there is. No annoying ads, you can upgrade but you don’t have to.
Please, for the sake of my eyes, implement dark mode
I’ve submitted a few feature requests to implement dark mode across all games/the main interface. Currently, I rely on the “smart invert” accessibility feature in iOS, but its not completely reliable/a very good user experience. Please please please consider adding on an upcoming release (or at least update us dark mode fans on status if in the works!)
Dark mode please
Wish all games supported dark mode including menu
Painfully slow, frequently asks to reinput login info
Every day, trying to open a new puzzle takes upwards of 1-2 minutes, only to be prompted to login to the app again (despite me checking in the upper right corner beforehand that, yes indeed, I am actually still logged in). So painful and clunky and slow. Better to just use a browser, even on mobile.
Morning Ritual!
Love my morning routine! NYT Wordle, on to Connections (grrr!), then Spelling Bee! With a cuppa coffee or two…. All is right with the world! ;)
.. reformed iPad kid
.. 'i love N yt games bc I have no hobbies
Still no dark mode
App still does not have dark mode after numerous assurances that it would be implemented. Those of us with sensory issues cannot play on a bright white background especially at night.
