Some other NYT Games, like the crossword puzzle and the Mini, release a little earlier — if you're on Eastern Time, that is. The next day's crossword puzzles are usually available the night before at 10 p.m. ET, although the Sunday editions are released even earlier, at 6 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Are NYT Games free?
Yep! You don't need a New York Times subscription to enjoy Wordle, Connections or Strands — they're all available for free on the Times' website or the NYT Games app.
You can also play the daily Mini Crossword, Sudoku, Tiles and Spelling Bee up to the "Solid" rank for free. If you want access to the full-size crossword, unlimited Spelling Bee and an archive of past puzzles, you'll need an NYT Games subscription, which costs $3 per month or $30 per year.
