The New York Times Games (NYT Games) is a collection of casual print and online games published by The New York Times, an American newspaper. Originated with the crossword in 1942, NYT Games was officially established on August 21, 2014, with the addition of the Mini Crossword.[1] Most puzzles of The New York Times Games are published and refreshed daily, mirroring The Times' daily newspaper cadence.

The New York Times Games is part of a concerted effort by The New York Times to raise its digital subscription as its print-based sales dwindle.[2] Since its launch, games have become one of the main revenue drivers for The New York Times.[3][4] As of 2023, The New York Times Games has "over one million" subscribers.[5]
