NYT Games: Word Games & Sudoku Reviews

Pencils down

TxBaptist

The only app for which I’m willing to pay.

Can’t access other games

MT Torres

After paying the yearly fee I am still unable to access the other games, like Sudoku. Also, you STILL have to buy any “packs” that you want. To the developers: Isn’t one payment good enough for you?

What’s the point?

PeggyRo

I find this app baffling. To access most content with my paid subscription, I still have to go to the website.

Issues with Spelling Bee

PollyQ

The crossword part of the app works just fine, but the Spelling Bee has the problem that it rejects words that turn up on the next day’s list of answers. Very frustrating.

Endless challenging fun

Love the app for the endless fun with the crosswords and spelling bee. Always great to dip into whether I have 5 minutes or an hour.

Good Stuff

Only way to improve this would be if someone could print it and deliver it to me each morning.

Lots of reused clues and answers

Dump$terKitten

The app is nice, but the crosswords reuse a lot of the same clues and answers each week. Seems like they use an algorithm to at least initially create the puzzles even if they edit or review them prior to releasing.

Fantastic app. Could use a search function.

Great app! I really love playing the crosswords here, both by subscription and some of the packs I’ve purchased! I also enjoy the option for dark mode. One suggestion: it would be great to be able to search the available packs. For example, I can’t seem to find “Will Shortz Favorites 2” despite having the first and third packs in my library. If we could search for packs, that would make the app 5/5 stars for me.

Great

Rip off

I paid $40 bucks for a year of this app but can’t do any of the things they promised, no archives, no previous day’s puzzles, nothing.
