The New York Times is starting to beta test a new puzzle game called “Zorse,” as reported by Semafor. The game is a “new phrase guessing game where every puzzle is a mash-up of two phrases,” NYT spokesperson Jordan Cohen says in a statement to The Verge. When you start a Zorse puzzle, you’re given a clue and shown a series of blank tiles that, when revealed, spell out a phrase related to the clue. It’s not out of the ordinary for the NYT to beta test new games. Digits, a math-based puzzle game, wasn’t as lucky, launching in April 2023 in beta before being shut down a few months later.
