NYT Games: Word Games & Sudoku App Reviews

I saw you answer to another review. “This app is free to download!” Then what, a charge for continuing after how long? I somehow got roped into two different subscriptions, and am inundated with emails to get some other deal. I think I’m done with apps. I prefer hard copy crossword puzzles, don’t need the other time-suckers.

love these games so so much but absolutely cannot justify buying the subscription version, $25 a month is INSANE, and now they’ve just completely taken away spelling bee from the free version + made it so you can no longer view your answer to letterboxd after you’ve played? so unnecessary

The subscription price is too high to play a few games so you get to do one of each puzzle a day. If you play spelling bee, it stops after you do well and won’t let you enter more unless you subscribe. If you open tiles and then close it to do something else it says you are done for the day without paying. Just feels predatory.

I play Connections from time to time. It will mark me wrong for correct combinations. I use all my chances and see the correct answers, only to see the answers that I put in there! I guess this doesn’t want you to win too much. The crossword is fun so that’s why I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1.
