For dedicated players of The New York Times’ popular puzzle games, there’s now a fresh incentive to keep those daily sessions going.

This feature allows enthusiasts to track and display their most impressive gaming milestones.

The company announced that these badges serve as rewards earned through gameplay, offering a way to commemorate standout moments.

At present, this badge feature is exclusively available for Wordle, Spelling Bee, and Connections. However, the New York Times has indicated that this is just the beginning. Players can expect to see the badge system expand to include other games within the NYT Games portfolio in the future, promising more ways to engage and achieve.
