What Is the New York Times Crossplay?

Crossplay is a brand new game from the New York Times! If you’re a fan of the super-popular Wordle, Spelling Bee, and Connections, you already know how fun these games can be. And there’s always the king of all puzzles: the New York Times Daily Crossword. Long story short, the New York Times knows games.

Crossplay is similar to Scrabble in many ways. It’s a two-player game where each gets to use letter tiles to make words, building off the words already on the board.

Where Can You Play the Crossplay Game?

The New York Times has given Crossplay its own app. This means that to play, you need to download the app from the App Store or Google Play. Crossplay is currently in beta and is only available in New Zealand for the moment.

You’ll also need a free New York Times Games account to play Crossplay. The friends you already have in your account will transfer to Crossplay, so you probably already know who you’ll be challenging to your first game.

How to Play Crossplay

Crossplay looks a lot like Scrabble (another of our favorite games). Basically, two players face off across a board that’s full of squares. Some of the squares offer bonuses for the letters or words played there.

Just like Scrabble, each player has a tray with seven letter tiles. Each tile is worth a certain number of points. Players must work with these letters and the tiles already on the board to make words.

  1. On their turn, players play a word (if they can) and draw from the virtual bag to bring their letter tray back up to seven tiles. 

  2. The Crossplay app adds up the points for the word they played, including any bonuses for the squares on the board.

  3. When all the tiles are gone from the virtual bag, each player gets one last turn to try to use up a few more letters from their tray.

  4. At the end of the game, the player with the highest score is the winner. Our Crossplay helper tool is here to help you make sure that winner is you.

Strategies for Winning at Crossplay

You can use our Crossplay cheat to help you win, especially if you keep a few simple tips in mind: 

  • Choose a few tiles already on the board to include in your search. It’s easiest to find words when you use common letter tiles.

  • On the other hand, you can maximize your score by picking letters that are near squares that will give you a bonus. 

  • Add the letters already on the board and the letters in your try into the Crossplay helper tool. Then pick the word with the highest score to play on your next turn.

  • You can also block your opponent by playing words in parts of the board you think they might want to play next. 

  • Play a great word with some common letters parallel to a long word already on the board. This can open up more chances for you to play new perpendicular words across both words.

  • Double check a word with our Scrabble Dictionary Checker if you want to know the meaning and whether it’s playable.
