Dear Reader,
Thanks for signing up for our newsletter! I’m The New Yorker’s Puzzles & Games editor, and I’m delighted you’ve joined our community of solvers. In this e-mail, I’ll walk you through our offerings, which include a daily anagramming game, a cartoon history brainteaser, and crosswords of all sizes.
But first, here’s a peek at what’s to come: Every weekday, you’ll receive links to our newly published games, along with occasional announcements about special features or changes in programming. We’ll also deliver two more introductory e-mails, on the next two Saturdays, full of solving advice and puzzles to get you started.
In addition, New Yorker subscribers receive exclusive tips, tricks, Q. & A.s, and dispatches from our editors in the Friday edition of the newsletter. They also receive unlimited access to our archive of games—plus a hundred years of cartoons, fiction, cultural criticism, and award-winning journalism. If you haven’t already, subscribe today.
To make sure our e-mails always reach your inbox, please add newyorker@newsletter.newyorker.com to your address book. If the address appears under your Promotions tab in Gmail, drag it to your Primary tab and select “Yes” when you’re asked if you want future messages to land in the same place.
I hope you’ll find the same qualities in our games that readers value in The New Yorker at large: wit, intelligence, curiosity about the world, and a love of language. And, above all, I hope you have fun!
Liz Maynes-Aminzade
Puzzles & Games Editor
