Are NYT Games free?
Yep! You don't need a New York Times subscription to play the daily Wordle, Connections or Strands — they're all free on the NYT Games app or the Times' website.
You can also play the daily Mini Crossword, Sudoku, Tiles and Spelling Bee (up to the "Solid" rank) for free.
If you're after unlimited Spelling Bee, the full-size crosswords or access to past puzzles from the archive, though, you'll need an NYT Games subscription, which runs $3 per month or $30 per year.
Good luck, puzzle pros!
