Not for much longer. NYT has to recoup that investment somehow.
The business model is that you get the latest puzzle for free and you can pay a subscription to get access to old ones. Not sure how much money they make, but I've paid more to them than most apps in the store.

Are you sure? I just tried to see today's crossword from a non-logged-in browser, and it said that I had to be subscribed.
And BTW I'm using Chrome with uBlock Origin enabled here.
I had actually kind of been hoping Wardle would have the same idea and that I would at some point be able to pay a few dollars a year for an account I could sign into to keep my Wordle career in sync. It looks like that account will now be an NYT account, and while it won't make me a subscriber by itself, it's one more benefit to weigh in potentially subscribing at some point.
And for the NYT, a company that made a $55M profit last quarter, it's probably a good bet.
Could see there being a daily free Wordle and then a paid app with a few more variants/archives.
