I downloaded the NYT Games app, which has a few puzzle games like;
Spelling Bee - how many words can you make with 7 letters?
Wordle - get 6 chances to guess a 5-letter word
Connections - group words that share a common thread
Letter Boxed - create words using letters around the square
Tiles - match elements and keep your chain going
Sudoku - try this number game, minus the math
Crossword - daily 7x7 crossword
