Hi! I'm hiring a deputy to help me run NYT Games Editorial. It's a cool job with a very cool boss! app5.greenhouse.io/internal_job_b…

We’re hiring! I’m looking for a community engagement manager. If you enjoy building community, feel plugged in to the social conversation and love puzzles, this might be the role for you ☺️nytimes.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NYT/job/New-Yo…

@alkikodibear @NYTGames No, this is just a pause in submissions. We've already scheduled puzzles for the month.

Starting 7/1/24, we are pausing new New York Times Crossword submissions in an effort to give our editors a small break and get ahead on editing. Editors will still be answering your submissions from before the break. We will reopen them on 7/19/24.

Get a peak into @wynaliu's brilliant and tricksy mind nytimes.com/2023/06/26/cro…

Also while I'm tooting my own horn, I made the brilliant decision to assign Wyna this new puzzle project and her mind is just perfect for it. Please enjoy! nytimes.com/games/connecti…

It took me a while to work up to solving Fridays, and I'm so excited to share a version that beginner solvers can enjoy, because themeless puzzles are delightful

my team is growing ✨🌱💗 nytimes.com/2023/04/23/cro…

@blgtylr plz don't lol

@danfeyer @TrudeauRoss @NYTGames Over others. The decision was made on the business side and I trust they did their due diligence on what choices needed to be made. I know it sucks and I’m sorry people were hurt. It doesn’t justify any of the personal attacks I’ve received.

@danfeyer @TrudeauRoss @NYTGames As for the acrostic, I’ll tell you what I’ve told everyone who has asked: it’s a shame. We have a very complex roadmap of product design and engineering work that we need to do for the business, and while we have incredible engineers and PMs, we have to prioritize some work…

I'm usually kinda joking when I rag on @NYTGames for sustained incompetence, but... this is a full-time employee?? literally your job is puzzles and writing about them.
