Overview

NYTG Helper adds a discreet hint panel to the NYT Spelling Bee and Connections pages. Hints are incremental — you choose how much to reveal, so nothing is spoiled until you ask for it.

Spelling Bee
• Automatically detects the words you've already found
• Incremental hint levels — totals, word counts by length, starting letters, and two-letter pairs — so you can nudge yourself without giving everything away
• Reveal missing words only when you're ready
• Pangrams are highlighted
• Hover any word to see its dictionary definition; click to open the full Merriam-Webster entry
• Answers sourced from beesolver.com and cached locally so repeat visits are instant

Connections
• Fetches the daily puzzle groups directly from the NYT API
• Each group reveals in two steps: first the category name, then the words — peek at exactly as much as you want
• Cached locally per puzzle date

Privacy-first
• No accounts, no analytics, no tracking
• All data stays in your browser (chrome.storage.local)
• Only connects to nytimes.com, beesolver.com, and a free dictionary API
• Full privacy policy: https://nytg-helper.pages.dev/#privacy
