Why does the NYT Spelling Bee cut me off?
If you are playing the New York Times Spelling Bee and just as you enter a word you get a popup (like below) asking you to subscribe to continue, it means that you have reached the "Good" level in the game and do not have a subscription to the New York Times.
This is because Spelling Bee is only free to play until you reach the "Good" level. The "Good" level is reached when you score 8% of the possible points for that day's puzzle. For example, if there are 250 possible points for a day's puzzle, you will reach the "Good" level when you cross 20 points.
To continue playing Spelling Bee, you will need to subscribe to the New York Times.
If you are subscribed to the New York Times and you are still getting cut off from playing Spelling Bee, you can check your subscription plan to make sure that it includes Spelling Bee. For more help, you can contact the New York Times customer service.
