So here's my honest take on NYT Games: Wordle & Crossword. I've tested a bunch of word game apps and this one's pretty solid. The variety of puzzles is great, and the difficulty scaling keeps things interesting. The Wordle integration is a nice touch too. But I will say, the ads can get old after a while. And the progression on the harder puzzles feels a bit slow. Still, if you're a fan of these kinds of games, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

Been using NYT Games: Wordle & Crossword for a couple months now. It’s basically a collection of classic word and logic puzzles like the daily Wordle and New York Times crossword. Pretty solid app if you’re into that kinda stuff.

Here’s what you do: there’s the Wordle game where you try to guess the 5-letter word in 6 tries. There’s also a daily crossword that gets harder as the week goes on. And there’s a new numbers game called PIPS where you gotta fill in the dominos on the board. It’s pretty challenging but a nice change of pace.

Look, if you’re into brain teasers and word games, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the ads can be kinda annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.

Used to enjoy the app, but now it's paywalled. What's funny is that I used to pay for a subscription when it was a more "optional" thing. But now that...

Ever since the latest game (Pips) was added, the app will not open reliably. Sometimes I can get it to work if I search for it in the play store...

Pips games are not displaying completely when the puzzle is larger than normal or has more than 4 rows of dominoes. Changing the font on my phone to the smallest...
