Games Pencil Set

The New York Times launched the Crossword in 1942 and has captivated solvers ever since. Over the past ten years, we’ve introduced a full slate of word and logic games like Wordle, Spelling Bee and Connections to test solvers’ smarts and keep them having fun all day long.

The pencils are custom-designed by Three Potato Four, a husband-and-wife-led product and graphic design studio based in Philadelphia. Each is a standard No. 2 hexagonal pencil and 7.5” long with an eraser — just in case you need to change an answer.
