The Guild is asking people to break their Wordle streaks

Workers are striking after trying a failing multiple times to negotiate fair pay, standardize Remote/Hybrid options, and other basic rights. The strike comes the day before election day.

I guess fingers crossed at the NYT that the election website doesn’t tip over from too much traffic…

    There are alternatives that are arguably better.
    You can play the exact same puzzles as on the NYT site without giving them your traffic. There are archives of their puzzles that you can play for free. If you like connections, go to https://www.connectionsunlimited.org/. For wordles, go to https://wordlearchive.com/. Just Google for archived versions of your favorite games.

    Then there’s also other publications that have puzzle games live this. For example, as I like the mini crosswords, there’s a student publication, The Observer, that has these mini crosswords too: https://fordhamobserver.com/category/fun-and-games/daily-mini-crossword/.

    Supporting the tech workers at NYT doesn’t mean you have to give up your daily game addiction

      Thanks for that replacement mini crossword recommendation, I’ve only done today’s but I really like it already!
