NYT tech workers are making their own games while on strike


Have you done your Strikle?

Striking New York Times tech workers have created a “Guild Builds” page dedicated to strike-themed games you can play, including a spin on Wordle, a word search, and the custom Connections I reported on earlier today. As part of its strike announcement on Monday, the New York Times Tech Guild requested that people don’t cross the digital picket line to play the NYT’s daily puzzle games. The games will be updated “when they can be,” Jen Sheehan, spokesperson for the NewsGuild of New York, tells The Verge, so you might want to check back every once in awhile to see if there’s a new version of a puzzle to play.
