I’m a CT Insider subscriber. Is Puzzmo Plus included with my subscription?
While Puzzmo Plus is not included, CT Insider subscribers enjoy the benefit of a discounted rate on their annual Puzzmo Plus subscription. Please use your CT Insider email address for your Puzzmo Plus purchase to ensure your subscriptions are linked and your discounted rate is applied. View the most current offer and subscribe anytime at puzzmo.com/+/ctinsider/subscribe .
Can I bundle my CT Insider and Puzzmo Plus subscriptions?

Please use your CT Insider email address for your Puzzmo Plus subscription purchase to ensure your subscriptions are linked and your discounted rate is applied.
I subscribed to Puzzmo Plus directly. Can I still link it to my CT Insider subscription and receive a refund for the discounted rate?
Yes! Contact Customer Service within 30 days from time of purchase. If you are eligible, you will receive a partial refund within 10 days. We will also link your subscriptions; so that at the time of your Puzzmo Plus renewal, you can continue to enjoy the benefit of a discounted rate.
I’m a CT Insider subscriber. Why doesn’t the discounted rate appear on my Puzzmo Plus subscription?
To have received the discounted rate, your CT Insider email address should have been used for your Puzzmo Plus subscription purchase. If you did not receive your discounted rate, contact Customer Service within 30 days from time of purchase. If you are eligible, you will receive a partial refund within 10 days. We will also link your subscriptions, if they aren’t already.
How do I access old games, like crosswords, Sudoku, Word Sleuth and Plus One?

Terms and Conditions
EZPay Terms and Conditions:
By signing up with EZPay you agree to a continuous subscription that will be automatically renewed until you cancel by contacting Customer Service. You understand you will be enrolled in EZPay, and authorize Hearst Media Services Connecticut to automatically charge the payment method you have provided for the next subscription term at the then-applicable subscription rate. EZPay charges occur at the beginning of the subscription term. Future subscription prices are subject to change, but you will be notified in advance of any changes to future subscription prices. You understand that you can cancel at any time and will not receive a refund for any undelivered issues or services remaining on your subscription balance under $5.00. No credits or refunds for a temporary stop of delivery will be given. You will not receive an invoice. Any recent outstanding balance will be processed with your first EZPay payment.
Subscription Terms and Conditions
If you choose the printed-bill option, a $3.95 charge will be applied to each bill. Charge does not apply to New York state residents. Subscriptions automatically renew until cancelled. Every subscription may include up to twelve Premium Issues per year, each of which will contain supplemental content and enhanced sections. For each Premium Issue, your account balance will be charged an additional fee up to $7.00. In order to keep your bill amount consistent, this may result in a subscription term of less than your current term for the period in which the Premium Issue is published. Premium Issue charges may occur during your promotional period, which will shorten that period. When a price (such as a premium day) or frequency change occurs, the expiration date on your account will be adjusted. For 2026, Middletown Press premium days include 3/29, 5/17, 7/26, 9/27, 11/26, 12/27. Journal Inquirer premium days include 1/22, 3/26, 5/14, 7/23, 9/24, 12/17.

Requests for credit due to service-related issues must be made within 10 days of the incident by calling Customer Service or logging into your account on our website. No credits or refunds for a temporary stop of delivery will be given. Balances under $5.00 will not be refunded.
