I am getting a message that Letter Boxed is now subscription-only. Is this a glitch on my machine or a change in policy.
Question mark?
Same here. Also the mini crossword no longer has a play for free option. Byebye LB!
There are enough free game options available to keep me occupied.
So long everyone 🫠
Same here, will miss it though.
Sad about this.
Bummer. It’s been a pleasant way to stretch my mind early in the day. I will miss it, but I’m not going to pay. Hope that they rethink this.
Totally agree
Yup!
#ByeByeLetterboxed
Hey SFchick. Hope you see this. I took Simons idea and got the letters from this site w/o looking at answers and just did it on paper for fun and came up with MALFORMED DRIVEWAY
Nice going Bill. I tried to match DRIVEWAY but could only come up with MIDFOLD which isn’t playable but appears in a few books I found online, mostly medical texts. MALFORMED is much better!
PS I drag the top of the page here down on my laptop screen so I only see the letters, not any answers. The new link someone kindly posted today should help a lot in the future.
L-F doesn’t work, unfortunately.

THANKS, BILL!
Actually, check out

Yep…me too,enjoyed playing it… hope they change their mind
Totally Agree.
It was fun while it lasted. Best wishes everybody.
“.,,playing the full version of New York Times Letter Boxed is no longer free. You now need a subscription to the New York Times Games package or an All Access subscription to access the game.”
I got the message too, but am so addicted to LB, I signed up! Free or a week….
Got the OA today!
WAVEFORM – MILDLY
Slow Curve Ahead
OA…
Hard to surf the net with a weak signal.
Same here!
I’m out!
I cant solve it either. What’s going on?
Access. I generally solve it but now I can’t.
Yup. Have to admit im kinda glad to say goodbye this addiction. Some days it was literally hours of writing out possibilities. Heh
Anyways you can play the NYT version of Letter Boxed for free here: https://dailyletterboxed.com/
And it is actually ads free.

OA after a brief flirtation with larviform – missed mildewy!
Bummer.. no longer free
Ridiculous!
OA.
Sufficiently interested enough to subscribe from the UK given their first year offer.
VARIFORM – MILDEWY.
Same

Not paying either! First the mini and now LB. What’s next? Wordle and Conx? Smh. Maybe time to try WAPO.
Finally hit the OA today. But not before writing down 92 unique words which ballooned to 127 words if you include -d, -ed, and -ly endings. It’s unfortunate that LB is becoming pay only, but in defense of the Times, this may be thing thing that generated the most interest in their site. Print journalism seems to be dying. I’ve subscribed for a long time. I get why people wouldn’t want to, but it does come with a few perks like the WordleBot, connections Bot, and all the archives. And being able to compare scores with friends. Not saying that makes it worth paying for, but it’s also not nothing. LB has become such an ingrained part of my day I don’t know that I could just drop it even if the cost were prohibitive. Have a long commute that it helps occupy my brain for every day. I hope those of you that don’t want to pay for it find some way around it as suggested above, because I enjoy seeing the wide variety of solutions and thoughts on TIs, etc. Every day on here.
Considering how much I enjoy waking up each morning to the puzzles, it was worth paying $18 for a year’s worth of entertainment. That’s less than 5 cents a day. I’m staying.
I’ll probably cave in and do the 18$ too.
After a year it becomes 13.7 cents per day

👍FOREWARMED is in Wiktionary.
Just in Wiktionary, alas…Thank you.
Does nanker rhyme with wanker?
It actually does.
Does Richie rhyme with Glitchie?
I just wanted to inform you, not hurt your fragile ego.
Boy it’s much harder to do with only the letters. But I got the OA today. I first tried MILDEWY but didn’t think of VARIFORM (above) Good one.
Btw DWARF is not playable today.
I don’t mind paying to play a game but I don’t want to subscribe to anything from the NYT. Even for a trial. You sign away a lot of your privacy, and they plague you with renew notices. Same with the TNY. And the WSJ. I got actual junk mail from them for years.
Thanks on malformed Simon. That post wouldn’t give me a chance to reply
And thanks too, Nanker
WAVEFORM / MILDLY in less than a minute today.
OA. Is everybody seeing the pay-to-pay notices, or is it random? I haven’t run across it yet.
… pay-to-play…
WAVEFORM – MILDLY
low tide
I caved a subscribed given that the cost was reasonable for the enjoyment I get. It was $9 Canadian for a year. I will reevaluate next year when it goes to $30
Came up with variform mildewy
I’ve really enjoyed Letterboxed and especially reading your witty answers every day, but I’ve decided not to pay.
My daughter introduced me to the free Seterra app, so I’ll be working on my geography skills.
Best wishes to all!
Seterra it is
I am a relative newcomer to LB… couple or three months perhaps. When I saw the need to subscribe I thought “I don’t need to pay to be humiliated most days”. Thought later “Heck, it is only $1.50 a month for the next year” so I went ahead and subscribed. A close friend, and regular poster here, who introduced me to this has decided not to.
We are lucky enough to be able to afford a NYT subscription. Not cheap, but I feel it’s so important to support the paper for their superb journalistic work. So, LB will continue to be my mental exercise 🙂 Failed to get OA today after finding dozens of what I thought were promising words. WAVEFORM wasn’t going to happen, but it’s going on the list!

Copying down the letters from this site without looking at the answers can be an option. However, it is tedious to continuously write the words with all possible combinations.
