Oh that sucks.
imo there’s really no chance of it not being paywalled eventually, despite the apparent wishes of the original creator

You’re probably right, but NYTimes doesn’t currently require a paid account for all of their puzzles. Me and my wife do the daily free Mini (it’s a little baby crossword) every day and don’t have to pay for it. You have to pay for access to their puzzle archive and for the main crossword though.

Do you need an unpaid account for the puzzles?
- TheRtRevKaiser ( @TheRtRevKaiser@beehaw.org ) 2•2 years ago
Not for the Mini crossword, at least. You can go to https://www.nytimes.com/crosswords/game/mini right now and you’ll get a login prompt, but there’s an option to continue without an account.

And there are, fairly, easy ways around paywalls. Of course, those aren’t screamed from the mountain tops.

Yeah I feel like they are going to add tracking at least
