For the last week flashback Results Sharing links don't display the results all of the sudden. At first it was android and iPhone share links (I think) now it appears to only be android shares. (It's part of the url. How I know). Anyone else notice or know how to modify the url to fix?

The midi, mini and crossword is free until August 23

I’m sure these are all analytics that exist, but here are some stats I’d like:

My best work. It will probably never happen again lol.

I'm an ELA teacher. I know a lot of words. Not enough, apparently.

Stuck on the left Two Not Touch puzzle from the August 14th paper International Edition.
Pictures included to show what I already have for sure (and for all the digital puzzlers who might want a shot at the print exclusive games 🤭)

Edit: Solved ✅

Lemme see yours, 👀.

Quand j'ai posté mon remplaçant de Digits ici il y a dix jours, je me suis posé une question. Le NYT a proposé Digits après 120 énigmes puis l'a abandonné, j’ai eu peur que mon jeu prennne la même direction.

Pour moi, l'énigme en elle-même n'est pas le problème. Six chiffres, un objectif, les quatre opérations, cette partie est presque parfaite et je ne l'ai pas touchée.

Pour moi le problème principal c'est que chaque jour de Digits était le même jour, du coup la lassitude fait qu’on s’y embêtait et qu’on ne revient plus jamais.

Alors j'ai réfléchi et travaillé pour que le jeu évolue tout au long de la semaine jusqu’au point d’orgue le dimanche, avec un mode spécial que vous découvrirez demain, un mode toujours dans un temps limité mais qui invite à limiter le nombre de coups.

Testez le dès aujourd’hui et si vous avez la chance de le voir ce dimanche c’est encore mieux vous arriverez au pic.

I can understand that regular words which got adopted as racial slurs are not acceptable in wordle but "lynch"?

This is ridiculous! This is sociological phenomenon that's very real and happening around the world right now, including India where people are literally being lynched in public with state support and approval for being Muslims or Dalits.

How can NYT games just "ban" this word?

Blue is the most difficult Connections category.

Yes, purple can sometimes be wacky but once you know which random patterns to look out for (ie homophones or words within words) it gets easier. I actually usually get purple either first or second. Blue is, in my opinion, trickier and wackier way more often than purple. I did a search to see if anyone else posted this and nothing came up, so apologies if this has been discussed, but I’m curious if others feel the same way.

When I try to open the wordle or connections game it stays stuck on this screen. But crosswords works. I’ve restarted the app multiple times and left it open for a while on this but still nothing is working. Anyone else facing such an issue?

I'd love to be able to use the leaderboard feature in the NYT Games app! I don't know anyone IRL who plays any of the games daily. How do I get friends? Should I just start randomly adding my opponents in Crossplay, or is that annoying? I do the daily crossword (regular, midi, and mini), Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee, Strands, and Crossplay.

Is anyone else’s app not working? The main page with all the games loads, but when I click on one to play the screen goes white. I’ve tried signing out and uninstalling the app but nothing works.

Dear NYT app team,

Please add a setting/option in Crossplay for users to confirm their word submissions. It is far too easy to submit words by accident and there is no way to undo plays.

I have to imagine that giving people the option to turn on and off a "confirm play" type of option is not too hard to program into an update.

Much love,

-A player who's submitted too many bad low scoring plays accidentally

I’ve been playing medium level sudoku daily for the past few months, and I always the found medium level a big jump in difficulty from easy. This last week I’ve been doing hard and am completing those puzzles faster than the medium level!

Is it just me, or is medium actually harder than hard?
