Wordle. Connections. Spelling Bee. Ye olde crossword. The ‘Times’ is home to beloved brainteasers that are helping boost the paper’s bottom line. As one staffer jokes, the “‘Times’ is now a gaming company that also happens to offer news.”

Every time an ad pops up on wordle my first guess is "fucks" I doubt they'd ever look that closely at the entries, but it's my way to protest. I remember the first time I had to use it, it only happened about once a month. Now there hasn't been a day my puzzle attempted (because my piss poor third world California Internet) to start without an ad in at least 6 months.

It's hurt my average, but fucks isn't the worst worst to start with.
