New York Times subediting quizzes

This is a collection of all the wonderful New York Times subediting quizzes, mostly so I can find them when I need them.

The NYT’s standards editor Philip B. Corbett started the quizzes in July 2016 with an introductory quiz that that you can find here. In it he explains that “[New York] Times writers and editors publish 125,000 or more words a day”.

The official ‘number 1 quiz’ dates from November that year and adopted the interface that we know today and which allows users to click on the problematic word or passage.
