14 DAY TRIAL // If you’re a New York Times subscriber and you love the crossword puzzle published in every newspaper, here’s something really exciting.
The New York Times has announced today that the very same crossword will be available on Windows 8.1 through a brand new game that works on both desktops and tablets in the Modern UI of the new operating system.
It comes with support for a mouse and keyboard, but it can also be solved with touch controls, which means that you can also play it on a tablet.
“It’s the same puzzle that’s printed every day in The New York Times newspaper. All daily puzzles are available the previous day at 10p EST with a subscription, so enjoy Tuesday’s puzzle on Monday at 10p! Practice and learn how to solve the puzzle on Monday or Tuesday or challenge yourself with even harder puzzles later in the week,” the official app description reads.
Keep in mind that while the application is completely free of charge, an NYT subscription is still needed to access all daily puzzles.
A trial version is, however, available and you can use it for a total of 7 days at absolutely no cost, so go ahead and download The New York Times Crossword for Windows 8.1 to see what it’s up to. For the best possible experience, it’s better to play it on a touch-capable device.
