When do NYT Games reset?
New Wordle, Connections and Strands puzzles drop at midnight in your local time zone every day — no matter where you are in the world.
Some other NYT Games, like the Mini Crossword, go live earlier — assuming you're in the Americas, that is. The New York Times crossword puzzles are tied to Eastern Time, and the next day's puzzles usually arrive the night before at 10 p.m. ET, except for the Sunday edition, which lands even earlier at 6 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Are NYT Games free?
Yes! The daily Wordle, Connections and Strands are available to play for free on the NYT Games app or the Times' website — no New York Times subscription needed.
Other free NYT Games include the Mini Crossword, Sudoku, Tiles and Spelling Bee (up to the "Solid" rank).
However, if you want unlimited Spelling Bee, the full-size crossword and access to an archive of past puzzles, you'll need an NYT Games subscription, which costs $3 per month.
Good luck, puzzle pros!
