Not for me.
Inanna has mentioned before that she could play a game all the way through (SpellingBee) that I can only do to a low level, subscribe to complete. Even when I had a paid subscription I could only get the mini and, as I said, just so far on SpellingBee. I play a free version of that (not through NYT) Spellsbee.
