NYT Launches Math-Based Puzzle Games, Including Digits and Wordle Spinoffs.

The New York Times Games team has released a new game called Digits, which is currently in beta testing and available for free to play. The team's goal is to produce puzzles that are "thoughtfully made, thoughtfully played," and they prioritize quality over quantity. The game development process involves a democratic approach to idea pitching, a concept phase, design and planning phase, prototype phase, and prep for beta testing phase. The beta version of the game is being tested publicly, and the team will decide whether to move it into the development phase based on the response.
