Edit; oh ok I get it now..
It could be fun but now I know what to do it’s not very challenging. The speed is more determined by the speed I can type that the words. Maybe one letter longer?
Fun game but you should disallow plurals. Overall I’d say use the same word rules as Wordle. Almost all my words were plurals and so were uninteresting, but if that was fixed I would play this!
Nice concept, but US-centric short/slang sports teams' names is a bit misjudged as the very first puzzle when introducing your new game to an international audience. I solved them because they're (mostly) words rather than them having meaning to me.
I wish there was a more internationally friendly version of NYT Games, they're so fun and I play them daily but a lot US cultural knowledge is required at times
Cryptic Crosswords are almost impenetrable from the US as they're so deep in UK specific words, spellings, and trivia.
I would prefer if less plurals were used. Every word in my puzzle ended with an 's' as a plural.

Previous puzzles don't have many plurals, but its the correct choice for this puzzle.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Same complaint. Also, not to poke fun at us too hard but there's probably less sports fans here than the average population :) Really like the idea though.
For those of you who are put off from trying the game by the category for today’s puzzle being sports, note there are other puzzles from prior days with more general topics. Click the calendar icon at top of page for the archive.
1) Keyboard input would be really nice, especially playing on desktop
2) A "give up" button instead of a 5 minute timeout would be appreciated
3) It might be more fun/challenging if you don't give the category, but have to guess the category after unscrambling the words.
