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.

Ratings
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.

Cross-platform syncing Not only has cross-platform syncing (between my iPhone and my iPad) continued to need work, but other bugginess is starting to emerge in the crossword. Slow start to Sudoko, too. Yay, constructors! Time to polish up the rest of it.
Good Just kidding… Great!
Love the games, but the app is unreliable I love all the nyt games! The app has been a great place to play them too. But over the past month or so, the app hasn’t been able to load the short games (Wordle, Connections, Strands) at least 50% of the time I try and open them. Before that there was a lot of sudden app closing. Is there some sort tech reliability issue going on? Would love for this to get addressed.
I LOVE YOU NYT GAMES I WOULD HAVE YOUR BABIES
Lacks Quality Control Games are buggy. For example, their mini and midi crossword games have broken function icons. Basic user interface stuff that would take less than an hour to fix. Yet they go u fixed for months and months.
Not free Not free
Not loading at all Was working fine for ever. Since yesterday nothing I do works: I even tried deleting and reinstalling the app. All games just get stuck on “loading”
great when it works way too often i get nothing but a spinner once i choose a game. this makes it impossible to maintain a streak. i try to play wordle and connections every day. it's VERY frustrating when it will not load either one of them successfully.
Link in email from NYT leads to broken app When I follow the link from the email notification I get from the NYT it leads to a broken app. If I go to the NYT Games app and follow that link I can play Wordle successfully.
Don’t Like Updates Each update gets worse. I keep getting asked to review even though I’ve submitted one. Also I don’t like that the warning to check the puzzle comes on now every time you check a puzzle. There should be an option to turn off—especially for puzzles from the archives.
