  In case anyone is looking for alternatives, my 2-dimensional daily word game (5x5 letters, five words down, five across) is free: https://squareword.org . Not exactly the same as you reveal words with wordle style guesses instead of clues, but might scratch the same itch.

  Struggling to understand the positive business impact this change has, highly doubt anyone is going to pay for it.

  Fortunately the LA Times mini is still free, though the ad-wall can be long (15 seconds).

  Is the NYT crossword so much better than alternatives that it would be worth paying for?
