"Really good crossword app. Only problem, I have Z-fold 3 and I think the app does not adapt to the big screen very well. The clues are very large but the crossword itself is quite small and hard to see."

"Sudoku in particular has really bad issues with missed presses. Many times I`ve completely lost track of my progress and had to start over because somewhere along the way, the app failed to pick up a button press, and the small UI makes it very hard to notice. The lack of an Undo feature makes this even worse, and I end up having to resort to auto-candidate mode or checking the puzzle every time I fill in a number, which isn`t fun. Other games have similar issues, but it`s less severe in those."

"I love playing the puzzles every day. However, I`m tired of fighting the app whenever minor glitches pop up. Currently: 1) I can`t get the app to recognize when I complete a crossword puzzle from the archive. 2) I can`t get wordle to recognize my paid account (i.e. can`t keep accurate stats). I know that these probs could likely be resolved by opening a case with the dev, but after doing that a couple of times (then a few weeks later, having the same problems reoccur), I`ve become a bit jaded."

"The app has never displayed the LetterBoxed game, but I could always get to it after selecting the Vertex game and pulling down the menu. The menu has recently disappeared so there is no longer any way to access LetterBoxed. Poorly written and maintained."

"Love the game, but my statistics are all wrong. I went from 98% wins to 97% (3×s), my winning streak started from 1, my maximum streak got chopped into ⅔ less, days played cut in ½. I was dropped on all stats even though I have been 100% right for `several months`. My stats are beginning to change bi-monthly. My stats are being crushed!! Really? Can`t anyone be honest anymore? Shame on you. Keep it real and honest. It`s only a freaking game. Dudes!"

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:
WORDLE
Play the original Wordle — created by Josh Wardle — in our app. Guess the 5-letter word in 6 tries or less. Then, sharpen your everyday strategy and see how you stack up against the WordleBot, our robotic companion to the puzzle.
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
Our newest word game lets you group words with a common thread. See if you can do it with 4 mistakes or fewer.
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.
LEADERBOARDS
