I updated the NYTimes @nytimes.com app on my iPad, and now the "Play" tab is... empty! This is going to seriously challenge my #Wordle streak.
A screenshot of the contents of the "Play" tab of the New York Times iPad app. The screen has a small amount of text at the top—"Good Morning / A good day starts with play."—but is mostly an empty white canvas. There are no links to any games.
