How it works
Play the games where they live. Share the result. Whichever route it takes, the same parser reads it and the same rules score it.
Paste anywhere
Every device- Finish a puzzle and press its Share button. The game copies its emoji summary.
- Come back to Dailies. On a computer, press ⌘V or Ctrl+V anywhere on the Today page. On a phone, tap “Paste from clipboard” under the lineup.
- Results that parse cleanly save on the spot. Anything with a warning waits for you to look at it first.
Several games in one paste is fine. Each one is split out and logged for the day it belongs to.
Clipboard auto-capture
Chrome, Edge- Under the paste box on Today, tick “Auto-capture from clipboard”. The browser asks once for permission.
- Play a game in another tab, press Share, switch back. The result is saved and a toast confirms it.
Safari and Firefox only let a page read the clipboard on a click, so there the paste button does the same job.
Browser extension
Chrome, Edge, Firefox on desktopThe extension watches the game page for its Share button, presses it for you the moment the puzzle ends, and logs the result. Your clipboard is left alone, and pressing Share yourself afterwards still works for sending it to friends.
- Download the extension and unzip it somewhere it can stay.
- Open
chrome://extensions(Edge:edge://extensions), turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked and pick the unzipped folder. Firefox:about:debugging→ This Firefox → Load Temporary Add-on, usingmanifest.firefox.json. - Click the Dailies icon → Connect to Dailies. A tab opens here showing a code; check it matches the one in the popup and press Allow. That is the whole sign-in: no token to copy.
- Play a game. When it ends, a toast on the game page says what was saved. The icon's popup lists recent captures.
Connecting creates a token called “Browser extension” under Settings → API tokens, which you can revoke whenever you like. Pasting a token in by hand still works, under Options → Advanced.
iPhone app
iOS 17 or newerThe app puts Dailies in every share sheet, including the NYT Games app. Sign in once inside it and it takes care of the rest: press Share in a game, pick Dailies, done.
The app is in testing. Until you have it, press Share → Copy in the game, open Dailies and tap “Paste from clipboard”.
Android share sheet
Chrome on Android- Open Dailies in Chrome, tap the ⋮ menu and choose “Add to Home screen” (or “Install app”).
- From now on, Dailies appears in every game's Share menu. Pick it and the result is saved.
By hand
Any game, any deviceEvery game card has “Log by hand”. The fields match the game: chips for 1 to 6 guesses, 0 to 3 mistakes, minutes and seconds for timed puzzles, a number for points. It is the right tool for Spelling Bee, which has no share text, or for a result whose share text you lost.
Groups
Weekly leagueStart a group under Groups and share the invite link. Each game, each day, everyone who logged is ranked by that game's rule and scores points: first place gets as many as the group has members, then one fewer per place, ties share. Most points when the week ends wins. Today's scores are hidden until you have logged the game yourself, so nobody spoils a solve.
