Games To Play If You’re Bored…
Hi everyone! My name is Chelsea D, and I am a Digital Ambassador from year 7.
Over the holidays, in the mornings, (and even now) my family and I play games on the New York Times website ! You might have heard of the widely popular game Wordle which is on the website, but have you ever checked out the other games?
These are:
Spelling Bee (which is like the word of the day in the library),
Connections (where you put the chosen words into connected groups in terms of meaning),
Strands (find words connected to the topic),
Tiles (Find and collect the matching tiles),
Vertex (Basically a dot to dot)
Letter Boxed (Make words out of the given letters which are in a box)
Sudoku (Literally just a sudoku)
These are all the free games on the New York Times games! If you see the Mini Crossword and The Crossword, you have to subscribe to play those.
I hope you enjoyed looking at this list and if you have time, the website is worth checking out ! Just Google New York Times Games and you will find them.
