Daily, I play Wordle and 7 Little Words when I first get up, but I was wondering what other types of quick games like that that people play regularly.

    The NYT puzzle doesn’t even use the standardized .puz format that most other crosswords use. So most crossword apps wouldn’t even be able to use the puzzle unless you scraped and converted it.

    It’s a shame, but I still pay and play, as it’s a generally high quality puzzle, and I only really do one per day.

      downforacross has them available for free, I was just looking for something more convenient. I’ve just found a script that scrapes the puzzles and converts them to .puz, so perhaps someone else out there is maintaining a downloadable collection somewhere.

      edit: of course there’s collection of the ones that NYT used to publish in that format https://tedd.it/r/DHExchange/comments/p1tzor/_/
