Striking New York Times tech workers have created a “Guild Builds” page dedicated to strike-themed games you can play, including a spin on Wordle, a word search, and the custom Connections I reported on earlier today.
As part of its strike announcement on Monday, the New York Times Tech Guild requested that people don’t cross the digital picket line to play the NYT’s daily puzzle games. This collection of five other games offers an alternative if you want to support the striking workers but also do some brain teasers.
There are currently five games on the page:
- Strikle, the twist on Wordle
- Connections: Strike Edition, which is a puzzle made in a Connections creator
- Word Search
- Match Strike, a memory game
- Frogger 8th Avenue
They aren’t super fancy, but I’ve had fun messing around with them. The games will be updated “when they can be,” Jen Sheehan, spokesperson for the NewsGuild of New York, tells The Verge, so you might want to check back every once in awhile to see if there’s a new version of a puzzle to play. Sheehan also says that guild members created all of the games but Strikle, which was made by an external supporter.
The New York Times didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.
The striking workers have also asked people not to use NYT Cooking, so the Guild Builds page also includes some strike-themed recipes you can make instead. I’m personally intrigued by “‘We’ve got beef with management’ Stuffed Mushrooms,” though Solidarity Soup sounds pretty good, too.
