A Brief History of NYT Games

The New York Times Games collection has evolved over more than eight decades, from pen-and-paper puzzles to viral online hits. It all began with the legendary NYT Crossword, first published on February 15, 1942, setting the gold standard for wordplay and logic. Fast-forward to the smartphone era: the Mini Crossword launched in 2014, offering bite-sized puzzles perfect for daily play. In May 2018, Spelling Bee joined the lineup and became a sensation among vocabulary enthusiasts, followed soon by the addictive Letter Boxed in June 2019. In the years that followed, visual matchers like Tiles became part of the NYT Games app, giving solvers a daily way to flex their pattern-recognition and logic skills.

Then came the modern era of viral word games. Wordle, created by Josh Wardle and officially acquired by The New York Times in January 2022, sparked a global obsession and millions of daily players. While word games were exploding in popularity, number-puzzle fans got a dedicated daily challenge when Sudoku was added to NYT Games on May 16, 2023. Connections debuted on June 12, 2023, challenging solvers to group related words by theme and color, while Strands, launched on March 4, 2024, added a fresh spin on crossword-style discovery with hidden “spangrams." Sports fans got their own dedicated twist with Connections: Sports Edition, which grew from a beta collaboration with The Athletic into a full daily game on February 9, 2025.

Most recently, Pips, a minimalist logic and pattern-matching puzzle, arrived in August 2025, joining Sudoku as a flagship logic challenge and marking NYT Games’ first homegrown logic puzzle in that category. Each title showcases The Times’ mastery in combining timeless logic with modern design, making NYT Games the go-to destination for puzzle lovers across generations.
