Word games like the NYT Mini Crossword to try

If you’re looking for other word puzzles, going for a regular-sized Crossword puzzle like those on the NYT or other online newspapers is a good idea. While they are longer and slightly intimidating, they’re also incredibly satisfying to finish.

You should also try Strands, also on the NYT. It’s a different take on the traditional word search game where you can connect one letter to the other in any direction to form a word that fits the daily theme. A letter can be connected to any other surrounding it, even if it changes the direction of the line creating the word.

Spelling Bee is a challenging vocabulary game where you must write as many word you can think of with a combination of the daily seven letters, all including the one in the center at least once. The game has an established player community behind it that always tries to help each other get to high scores.
