Ratings and Reviews
My daily ritual
I stumbled across the NYT crossword app when Wordle went there - living in the UK, it wasn’t an obvious place for me to look. But I found the daily and mini crosswords to be just what I like - often challenging but not impossible, entertaining and informative (when I have to research to find the answers). I like the themes, and the fact that sometimes numbers and rebuses unexpectedly feature in the answers. I also enjoy the Acrostic puzzles though I find them harder. My interest in language means that I enjoy exploring the (many!) differences between British and American English, though I suspect this would be a deterrent for many Brits. Well worth the £25 annual subscription cost for me!
Excellent brain teasers
The variety of puzzles here makes it easy to pick the type that appeals at any given moment. Letterboxed is completely new to me and has become my favourite. Mini crossword is sometimes undoable as a Brit - so many US brand names, film and sport references. But getting better at each is a silly fun extra to start the day. It’s churlish to criticise a freebie, but that’s partly what reviews are for: 1: the dictionary for both Spelling Bee and Letterboxed seems oddly narrow, given that it’s a NYT app. 2: the detailed images in Tiles are really hard to make out on a phone, especially colour contrasts.
Developer Response ,
Hi there! Thank you for your review and your feedback. Spelling Bee uses an internal word list developed over time from many sources. We are unable to include each word that can be created with the letters provided. The editors decide which words are best for the list for that day. Thank you for your support!
ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ
Ever since I got introduced to wordle from my school when I was in y6 in primary, The teacher was being very persuasive with it, so that brought me to enjoy it. A few weeks later I got fascinated into the introduction of the second page of literacy puzzles like wordle such as spelling bee, letter boxed, etc! Even without VIP of NYT Games (where I cannot play crosswords) I still enjoy playing the other popular games oustide of the ones for the masterminds.
