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.

Reviews
Not Everyone Lives in NYC Recent updates to Games have widened the game-experience gap between East Coasters and the rest of the country. You drop a new crossword hours before the end of the day and then don’t grant streak-extending status to a puzzle solved long before midnight on the day after its nominal date. Boo! Revert to the three-most-recently-dropped puzzles rule for “gold stars.”
The undisputed king The NY Times made crosswords what they are in this country today, introduced, popularized, innovated, and supported games and puzzles such as these. Why go anywhere else? One major problem with the app on iPhone, though. It asks me about once a week how I like the app and offers me the opportunity to write this review again.
NYT Games Great way to exercise your mind during your commutes and especially while enjoying your morning coffee. Plenty of games to choose from allowing your mind to wander
Good but buggy I like NYT games but a couple of things could be improved. When I finish the mini crossword I cannot x out of the game. I have to play the spelling bee or close the app. Please address. Second, I’m not sure why Letterboxed isn’t a game with records and stats. It would be neat to have streaks and show how many turns it took to solve. Other than that I enjoy Wordle and Connections s as well.
Simply The Best Daily fun and challenge all in one
One star for constant review prompts I’ve already reviewed this and I’m STILL getting prompts after every puzzle, go away!
Poor interface It seems to work OK, but the clues for the mini and midi are highlighted with in such a way to have black text on a dark blue background. That part of the app is basically unusable.
great games, but buggy the app keeps asking for a rating - every daily, even if I’ve already rated it so i’m removing a star. stop bothering me!!!
Was Wonderful, But… I love these games and play them every day. But you’ve added some totally unnecessary prompts with this last update. Please do not ask me if I really want to see a word or square after I’ve already answered that. You do not need to ask me every time! It is very annoying. I am happy to change this review if you are willing to remove this latest bothersome prompt.
Crashing constantly Pretty nice app. Latest update is awful. Can’t get through a game without the app crashing multiple times.
