In case you hadn’t heard, for a limited time, (from now until Oct. 6) if you purchase a new Surface Pro 3 through the official Microsoft Store you will receive a free one year subscription to New York Times Crossword. This is $39 value.
The NYT Crossword app is special. It enables the player to:
- Handwrite their answers into the crossword using the Surface Pro 3 stylus
- Circle their writing and have it converted to text
- Play the actual crossword published in the NYT that day
- Go back and download archives of the NYT crossword from the past month
So if already have a Surface Pro 3 from the store… congratulations! Download the Windows 8 app and start wracking your brain on “what the heck is a 7 letter word for ‘donut’?”
(If you don’t have a Surface Pro 3 from the store, you can still download and play NYT Crossword mini-puzzle for free daily)
