Since then, millions of solvers around the world have enjoyed the word puzzle game. Spelling Bee - a puzzle in which players try to make words from a set of seven unique letters while using the center letter at least once - first debuted in print in The New York Times Magazine in 2014, and the online game launched in May 2018. Whether this means going back much later to achieve a higher ranking, or saving days’ worth of content for one sitting, it should open up a whole new dimension of possibilities.” Sam Ezersky, Spelling Bee’s digital editor since its inception, added: “Truly, this is such exciting news! I know firsthand how each solver has a unique sweet spot when it comes to enjoying these puzzles. We are always thrilled to bring more value to our subscribers, and as we head into the busy summer travel season, Spelling Bee past puzzles is a great way to do just that.”

It’s something that fans of the game have been asking for, and it contributes to our broader goal of growing our Games subscription business. Jonathan Knight, head of Games at The New York Times, said: “Spelling Bee past puzzles is an important and exciting expansion of our Games product offering. And if you find yourself stuck, you have the option to reveal the final answers to bring closure to your puzzle-solving journey. You can now pick up where you left off in a previous puzzle, providing more flexibility to complete the challenge at your leisure. One of the standout features of Spelling Bee past puzzles is the ability to continue playing the daily puzzle even after the day is over.

Previously, subscribers were only able to play the day’s puzzle. In our ongoing commitment to enhance the gameplay experience, this new feature lets subscribers play all Spelling Bee puzzles from the current week and last week, while keeping track of players’ progress. That’s why we’ve expanded our offering to include Spelling Bee past puzzles, ensuring you can catch up on puzzles you missed, solve them at your own pace, or simply enjoy more of the game you love.

We know that our daily Spelling Bee puzzle has been a favorite for solvers, with so many members of the Hivemind wishing they could play a puzzle that they missed, or simply spend more time honing their craft to get to Genius. The rollout to all Games and All Access subscribers will take place over the next couple of months. Starting today, we’re rolling out Spelling Bee past puzzles on a variety of platforms, including the New York Times Games app on iOS & Android, our News app on iOS & Android, as well as mobile web and desktop. New York Times Games is thrilled to announce the debut of Spelling Bee past puzzles, an exciting new benefit exclusively for our Games and All Access subscribers.
