The Mini is a bite-sized version of the famous New York Times crossword puzzle. It offers crossword enthusiasts the chance to test their skills every day in far less time; the average player can solve it in just over a minute! While it’s smaller and simpler than the full-sized puzzle, don’t be fooled; it can still throw some curveballs. One tricky clue might be the difference between setting a new personal best and getting stuck mid-solve. It’s a quick challenge, but it keeps your brain engaged in a fun way.
And just like we share Wordle hints or offer tips for solving Connections puzzles, we’re here to help you out with The Mini if you find yourself stuck. No shame in needing a little extra push to get across that finish line!
In case you’re feeling challenged, we’ve got you covered with today’s answers below.
