after a while anyway, and they can be glad if the Times doesn't charge extra for it like it does the crossword and recipes. Maybe they'd throw it in with the crossword, which people can subscribe to alone for $40, without the paper.

I'm thinking there are a whole lot of Wordle puzzles in the public domain that I've never done and will keep me for some while. I got all 5 letters on the third try this morning, then required another two rows to get them in order.
