If you enjoy Wordle and Connections, Puzzmo may become your next daily addiction
If you’ve incorporated puzzle games such as Wordle and Connections into your routine recently, you might be on the verge of discovering another daily obsession. Puzzmo is a new platform that transforms the concept of a newspaper puzzle page into a responsive web page that functions across devices. Players can sign up today for the free platform, which also offers a $40 annual subscription that unlocks bonus features like experimental games and leaderboards.
This ambitious new project is a collaboration between Orta Therox and Zach Gage, a game designer who has gained recognition over the years with mobile titles like Knotwords and Good Sudoku. His latest endeavor has been in development for several years, functioning as a comprehensive catalog of Gage’s puzzles, aiming to surpass popular outlets like The New York Times at their own game.

Move over, Wordle: The New York Times has a new puzzle game
The New York Times has launched its next game in the catalog, following the ongoing success of Wordle—and this one is focused on math. Digits challenges players to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with numbers. You can currently play its beta for free online.
In Digits, players are given a target number to match. They receive six numbers and can add, subtract, multiply, or divide them to get as close to the target as possible. Not all numbers need to be used, making this game a great test of math skills as players combine numbers and formulate the right equations to reach the target number.
Players will receive a five-star rating for matching the target number exactly, a three-star rating for landing within 10 of the target, and a one-star rating for being within 25 of the target number. Currently, players can also engage with five different puzzles featuring increasingly larger numbers. I completed today’s puzzle and found it to be an enjoyable numbers-based game that should attract those curious minds who appreciate puzzle games like Threes or other New York Times titles like Wordle and Spelling Bee.
In an article introducing Digits and elaborating on The New York Times Games team’s development process, The Times mentions that the team will utilize this free beta phase to identify bugs and evaluate whether it warrants transitioning into a more active development stage "where the game is coded and the designs are finalized." So, enjoy playing Digits while you can, as The New York Times may decide to abandon the project if it doesn't elicit the expected response.
The beta for Digits is currently available for free on The New York Times Games
