About NYT Game Solver
NYT Game Solver is a free companion for people who play the daily New York Times puzzle games. Whether you’re stuck one square from finishing, want a gentle nudge instead of the full answer, or are looking to sharpen your strategy for tomorrow, the site is built to help you get unstuck and get better.
What we cover
We provide daily hints, answers, and strategy for the full lineup of NYT games:
- Wordle — the day’s answer, starting-word strategy, and letter analysis
- Connections — all four groups, color-coded by difficulty
- Strands — the theme, spangram, and every theme word
- Spelling Bee — the full word list and pangram(s)
- Mini Crossword and Midi — clues and answers
- Letter Boxed — the official two-word solution
- Pips, Sudoku, Tiles, and the Crossword
How it works
Each day we pull the current puzzle from publicly available data and present it in a clear, fast, mobile-friendly layout. Answers are kept behind a tap so you can choose how much help you want — a hint, a nudge, or the full solution. Strategy and how-to-play content is written by us to actually teach the game, not just hand over the answer.
How our hints are computed
We start with authenticated public puzzle inputs and deterministic measurements such as letter counts, grid structure, clue mix, candidate-set size, and confirmed archive trends. Each published hint is checked as part of the full hint set so several individually mild clues cannot combine into an unintended answer. Difficulty labels appear only when the inputs used to calculate them are shown alongside the label.
We label incomplete or single-source days as pending or verifying, and we do not turn a fallback puzzle into today’s result. If a source correction changes a fact, we update the dated brief and its modification time. Readers can report a suspected error through the Contact page.
