About

NYTG Helper adds a discreet hint panel to the NYT Spelling Bee and Connections pages. Hints are incremental — you choose how much to reveal, so nothing is spoiled until you ask for it.

  Spelling Bee
  • Automatically detects the words you've already found
  • Incremental hint levels — totals, word counts by length, starting letters, and two-letter pairs — so you can nudge yourself without giving everything away
  • Reveal missing words only when you're ready
  • Pangrams are highlighted
  • Hover any word to see its dictionary definition; click to open the full Merriam-Webster entry
  • Answers sourced from beesolver.com and cached locally so repeat visits are instant

  Connections
  • Fetches the daily puzzle groups directly from the NYT API
  • Each group reveals in two steps: first the category name, then the words — peek at exactly as much as you want
  • Cached locally per puzzle date

  Privacy-first
  • No accounts, no analytics, no tracking
  • All data stays in your browser (chrome.storage.local)
  • Only connects to nytimes.com, beesolver.com, and a free dictionary API
  • Full privacy policy: https://nytg-helper.pages.dev/#privacy
