Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Revenue comes from in-game items and microtransactions, which our price-based model doesn't estimate.

Each storefront's own ratings counter and average — separate, overlapping audiences, never added together.
14 of 15 markets; the rest gave no counter or aren't reached yet, not markets where nobody rated it.

Stats
How fast this game is gaining ratings — the activity signal available where a store publishes no sales or install numbers.
Measured from our own daily snapshots, not reported by the store. Deliberately not converted into sales: a one-tap rating's ratio to copies sold is unknown on this platform, and guessing it would be worse than leaving it out.
Sums Google Play only; App Store publishes no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Sunday Funday! Every Sunday we head to mom's and make dinner and cast the Sunday crossword to the TV and do it together. We get some bonding time and a mental workout, and sometimes even the surly teens throw out an answer. During the week, mom and my brother and me compete on Wordle and Connections. Good (NY) times!
Game fun going down I'm not sure what it is, because I'm not any less intelligent than I was a year ago but I feel like there's been some change in the creation of the games. Are you using AI? It seems like, Wordle is just stacked against you now. I used to quite often win in three or four guesses, but now it's taking me six to guess them quite a a lot of the time, or I miss completely. I feel like that can't just be coincidence.
Hello Hello
Good for the brain The design is very simple and the games are good but most of them are locked on free tier that is a bummer.
Update Now joke Infinite loop introduced. Pushing update now takes me to a website that shows numerous apps and explains data sharing, allows opening the app, only to go back to the only option to update now. Never updates anything. Wanna go again?
Too long to load The app opens right away but the games take forever to load when you tap on one. If I had know this I would have saved my money and just did the online version without an account.
The Best Quite simply the best and only app anyone should ever need, and the only reason humans can never go back to using flip phones.
Egregious Crossword Error The Midi today (7/16/26) had a clue “toy blocks.” The puzzle required “legos” as the correct answer. But LITERALLY EVERYBODY knows that the plural of lego is lego. Either the NYT has started outsourcing puzzle design to AI or [insert ableist sarcastic reference]. Unacceptable!
Perfect App I play daily. It’s great for passing time on the commute or while waiting. Started as a complete newbie but can now solve most puzzles. Fun to do, and I learn something, too. My only quibble is that the developers recently changed it so that you can’t open the daily crossword column and swipe between the puzzle and the column. You have to keep opening and closing the column to get back to the puzzle, which is a little annoying.
Crashing constantly Pretty nice app. Latest update is awful. Can’t get through a game without the app crashing multiple times.
