Useful places to check first

The six-game rules explain duplicate letters, One away, valid paths, crosswords and assistance. The original library helps locate a puzzle to replay; the Daily page returns to your regular game. If a save disappeared, remember that clearing site data or changing browsers separates local progress.

Independent game support

We can receive questions about this site’s original games. We cannot manage NYT accounts, subscriptions or official puzzles. Read the official-versus-independent comparison, privacy notice and independence statement for those boundaries.
