Free alternatives to paywalled daily games
A different publisher, not a workaround
The Times hub says subscribe for unlimited access. I am not publishing steps, extensions, or library tricks for getting past that. The useful answer is a puzzle whose own site already invites you in.
Use the LA Times crossword (their words: free every day), Guardian crosswords, Jigsaw Planet, Bandle's free latest songs, or Gamedle. Wordle Unlimited at wordleunlimited.org is a separate word game, not a key to the Times archive.
What I checked
I have had the paywall question sent to me in the form of "how do I get around it." The reply I want this page to give is the list above. Checked 30 September 2026.
Questions
Will you show a bypass?
No.
Is the LA Times crossword really free?
Their page says free every day. That is the claim I am repeating, with the link.
