The new custom 'Strike Edition' Connections puzzle allows NYT readers to engage with puzzles while supporting striking tech workers, merging fun and solidarity.
Jen Sheehan, spokesperson for the NewsGuild of New York, noted a significant subscriber support movement, highlighting how players changed their game streaks to show solidarity with strikers.
Freelance developer Anthony Salazar created a website for custom Connections puzzles in under two hours, unexpectedly garnering massive use, including from the NYT Tech Guild.
Salazar expressed his honor in the Tech Guild using his app for the Strike Edition, though there are concerns about how NYT might respond to the website.
