    Feel like NYT needs to refine the rules a bit on this game, or maybe just track the time.

      I think time tracking would be good. The interface promotes “fat fingering” just to keep the screen from dimming. Tracking “guesses” would be unfair.

    This and Saturday’s were pretty weak. Very easy to find the words as they’re basically only in straight lines.

      A lot of NYT games follow the crossword model and start easy on Monday and increase in difficulty over the week. That obviously doesn’t explain Saturday, though.
