Created by Charles Erlenkotter and edited by Margaret Farrar, it marked the first major newspaper to feature a crossword. Over time, the NYT has introduced a variety of popular games, including the Mini Crossword in 2014, followed by Spelling Bee, Letter Boxed, and Tiles. In 2022, the NYT released the widely successful Wordle, later adding games like Connections and Strands.
