The list on the hub, not a rumor

On 30 September 2026 the Times games hub navigation included Midi, the Mini, Spelling Bee, Wordle, Pips, Strands, Connections, Tiles, Letter Boxed, and Sudoku. It also said the Mini arrived in 2014 and told readers to subscribe for unlimited access. That navigation is the list I will use, ahead of any "five games" summary.

Wordle was created by Josh Wardle and released in October 2021; the Times publishes it now. Spelling Bee was created by Frank Longo, with a print debut on 22 February 2015 and a digital daily from 9 May 2018, according to Wikipedia. I have not verified current App Store links, so they are omitted.

What I checked

I read the hub navigation on 30 September 2026 rather than trusting a five-name list. The five names people repeat (Wordle, Connections, the Mini, Strands, Spelling Bee) are all on that hub. They are not the whole hub.

Questions

What are the NYT daily games?
