The Word Finder’s dated page lists the same sixteen tiles and groupings, and offers an independent practice board, a reveal assistant, and individual word reveals. Its “1 away…” message means a submitted set contains three correct words and one outlier. The helper is separate from the official NYT/The Athletic game; its page does not establish current access terms for the official game.
See The Word Finder’s December 7, 2025 page for those helper features. The answer guide sources are secondary guides, not the original NYT puzzle archive.
