how much is a NYT wordle subscription?
The NYT Games subscription is generally about $6 per month in the U.S. for access that includes Wordle’s archive and related games, while the full NYT bundle is much more expensive. Wordle itself is still free to play on the New York Times website, so you usually only need to pay if you want the extra games and archive features.
What you get
- Free: Today’s Wordle on the NYT site.
- Paid NYT Games plan: Access to Wordle archive, Wordle Bot, Cross Bot, and other games.
- NYT full subscription: Includes Games plus news, cooking, and other NYT products.
