It is time to stop paying the New York Times a dime. Yes, that includes Wordle and the recipes. Sorry.

Gah. I’m subscribed until (I think) August but it’s not going to renew. I don’t think I have any way to withdraw the subscription at this point?

I don't subscribe to the NYT, but I have a subscription to the @washingtonpost.com & they are "skating on thin ice" trying to be a tabloid.
Sad sad lack of ethics when we need truth more than ever!

I stopped playing Wordle a few years ago because of the paper’s anti-trans agenda. They’re a trash paper now.

The last thing that kept me hanging on was Wirecutter, but the anti-trans stuff got bad enough a couple years ago that I couldn’t continue.

Also I really wish supposedly progressive papers and journalists would stop uncritically repeating the times and Murdochs lies and misinformation.

I need people to know about this. It's more fun and not NYTs. There are other variations as well but eventually you get to where one dinky box doesn't even scratch the itch. www.sedecordle.com

We cancelled this week. I think daily Wordle is still free but not sure. Removed their app from my phone even though subscription doesn't expire until later this month.

It’s almost as if The NYTs are a bunch of thin skinned spiteful babies that doubled down on the bothsiders criticism they have been receiving, and went full Fox News as a result

I do like Michael Bittman's cookery books and I've never bought the NYT. Best of both worlds. Do need Murdock to die so I can get back to the cryptic crossword in the London Times. I miss that, especially the Saturday jumbo.

For substituting Wordle I can recommend e.g. octordle ( www.britannica.com/games/octord... ); there are also several others (that I may or may not play regularly)
