In the app, you can even see your badges in “your very own trophy case.”
The NYT says there will also be “seasonal events and special challenges,” like badges that celebrate “special holidays or special puzzles,” and if you have an NYT Games subscription, you’ll be able to access some exclusive badges.
Right now, the badges are “currently” only available for Wordle, Spelling Bee, and Connections, but you can “look forward to more Badges coming across NYT Games.”
