When most people think of The New York Times, they picture headlines, politics, and hard-hitting journalism. But there's another side of the Times that's just as compelling — and it has nothing to do with news.
Welcome to the world of NYT Games — home of the NYT Strands game, Wordle, Spelling Bee, and more. It's where logic, language, and a bit of obsession meet. And here at Zorse Games, we keep you updated with hints, strategies, and daily answers to help you stay sharp and in the game.
1. Wordle: The One-Word Phenomenon
You've seen it on social media — those little green and yellow boxes. That's Wordle, the wildly viral daily word game.
- Rules: Guess the five-letter word in six tries or less.
- Why it's genius: You only get one puzzle per day. No ads, no distractions.
- Pro tip: Start with a word rich in vowels like "AUDIO" or "SLATE."
2. Spelling Bee: A Game for Word Nerds
Spelling Bee gives you seven letters and asks you to find as many words as you can — but every word must include the central letter.
- Goal: Hit the coveted "Genius" level.
- Addictive factor: Surprisingly high. One more word... just one more.
- Zorse Games Tip: Look for common prefixes and suffixes to stretch your word count.

NYT Strands is the Times' newest hit — and it's already got a cult following. At Zorse Games, we cover it daily because it's that good.

- Why it's unique: You're not just finding words; you're uncovering patterns and connections.
Whether the theme is Star Trek ships or types of pasta, Strands turns a simple puzzle into a mini adventure.
