The New York Times’ online puzzle offering has surpassed 400,000 paying subscribers, roughly double the number from two years ago.

In June 2016, the Times had 212,000 online crossword subscribers. Last June, it had 306,000, according to the company. The paper stopped breaking out the number in quarterly results last year.
