Less localized words would be better. Sports teams in the U.S. are not that popular outside the U.S.
UI is splendid.

#22Bit too easy to have repeat value

#23Very nice! On iOS it does not seem to register fast consecutive taps correctly, if that’s fixed I would actually like to play this more often
Same on Android

#24Fun! I look forward to seeing what future categories and words are. Do you have to manually curate them each day? How big is your backlog? Is there a way to automate it?

#25For mobile a button to clear the row by the word next to each word would be nice.

#26I really like it (I play the NYT games daily). The UI is slick.
As others have mentioned categories could probably have broader/non-US content but that's easy. The site/format itself is great.

#27I see - thank you uMatrix - that you use plausible.io
I block all such tracking, so thanks for allowing me to play without that tracking.
I do realise that such blocking affects your stats so if you could devise a way to track without using an external service that would be great.

#28Nice 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

#30To tell you a brutal truth, I dislike any timed game.
