    1. Sigh. Probably soon enough. From the article:

      The company said the game would initially remain free to new and existing players.

      —snip—

      “The Times remains focused on becoming the essential subscription for every English-speaking person seeking to understand and engage with the world,” a company statement said. “New York Times Games are a key part of that strategy.”

      Since The Times put up a paywall in 2011, its business strategy has revolved around persuading readers and users, the overwhelming majority of whom get Times content digitally, to buy subscriptions.

      Read about the experiences some folks have at trying to cancel their NYT subscriptions. The strategy is not merely to persuade; it’s to leverage its size to M&A smaller properties and make it hard to unsubscribe.

      1. The game is entirely client-side. Cloning the page elsewhere (such as here) and you would be able to continue playing it exactly the same as before. But now WGOMRDLE.

        1. Right. Looks like the times says it will remain free (like their current [not backlog?] of crossword puzzles) Or did the move crosswords behind the wall and I missed it?

          1. Crosswords are behind the paywall in fact there is a separate crossword access you can pay for if you don't want the newspaper. Same with NYTimes cooking.

            1. That is annoying. Missed that change. Though online crosswords aren't particularly hard to find.

      1. I wonder how many people play elsewhere. I've always played at that site after coming to the realization that's where it was.

        1. The page won't load for me this morning. Perhaps because I'm at the clinic getting an infusion and using their wifi? I'll see what happens after I get back home.

    Hmm, this week is going poorly. That's what I get for feeling good about last week.

    1. It took some time after my first guess, but my first guess didn’t leave me with all that many options. Once one finally occurred to me, I knew it was going to flip green.

    1. I hadn’t seen Nerdle before, that was pretty fun.

      Though I’m not a fan of the name. I would argue that doing this kind of puzzle with numbers instead of letters does not make it inherently more nerdy. It’s just a different kind of nerdy.

      1. Ohahahahahahaha no

        I'm complete crap at Wordle. I only mention it when I do well. I don't want my futility recorded for posterity

    Had I put put more thought into trying more common words, instead of just going with the first thing I thought of, I might have gotten it in two.

    Getting four letters all in the wrong spot is where hard mode makes a difference, I think.

    BAH. I had the answer spelled out and ready to go on turn three, just to overthink and pivot at the last second.

  35. Hey I noticed two reporting errors on the spreadsheet this week. I corrected but everyone may want to check theirs as well.

    1. Probably my fault. I'm the one who fills in scores first when I post my score in the morning, at least on weekdays.
