The New York Times has plenty of word games on its roster today — with Wordle, Connections, Strands, and the Mini Crossword, there’s something for everyone — but the newspaper’s standard crossword puzzle still reigns supreme. The daily crossword is full of interesting trivia, helps improve mental flexibility and, of course, gives you some bragging rights if you manage to finish it every day.

While the NYT puzzle might feel like an impossible task some days, solving a crossword is a skill and it takes practice — don’t get discouraged if you can’t get every single word in a puzzle.

Call of Duty: World at War, Treyarch's World War II-set first-person shooter, is reportedly coming to Xbox Game Pass. The 2018 Call of Duty title is said to be joining Microsoft's game subscription service around May 2025. In addition to World at War, Raven Software's Singularity will likely become available on Game Pass in the same month. If the report is true, Call of Duty: World at War would become the third COD title to arrive on Game Pass after Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
