The New York Times (NYT) is well-known for its investigative journalism and quick releases of breaking news, however, students may be even more familiar with its daily minigames.
While puzzles like the Wordle or Mini crossword have given immense popularity to these short, daily games, many of you might not know that there are even more out there.
Although I don’t support playing games in class, the daily NYT minigames are an integral part of my daily routine whether I have class first period or not. Having played many of these games every day for multiple years, I feel prepared to play each game with a critical eye and rate them based on (1) entertainment, (2) difficulty, and (3) duration.
