About Dubai Times

Dubai Times is an independent home for simple, thoughtful puzzles. Start with the daily Fivefold word challenge, keep practising with unlimited words, or switch to a classic Sudoku. The aim is a familiar routine that works on a phone, tablet or computer without distracting clutter.

Games first

Our games are free to play. Optional accounts keep completed results and statistics together across sign-ins and devices, while unfinished boards are saved on the browser where you play. Daily and unlimited rankings are separate, so practice does not change your daily record.

How we build

We favour lightweight pages, clear instructions, keyboard and touch controls, reduced-motion support, and transparent puzzle rules. Game-specific guides explain the word bank, duplicate-letter clues and Sudoku techniques. We welcome reports about accessibility barriers, incorrect words and game errors.

An independent puzzle site

Despite its name, Dubai Times is currently a puzzle website, not a news publisher. It is not affiliated with The New York Times, NYT Games, Wordle, or any other publisher. Our own branding and editorial pages identify this project clearly.
