Welcome to another edition of the NYT Mini to start the week, where you can time yourself to see how fast you can arrange tiny words. Enjoy. <\/p>\n

How to Play the NYT Mini<\/h2>\n

The NYT Mini <\/em>is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper’s larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.<\/p>\n

Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini <\/em>crossword is free to play on the New York Times website<\/u><\/a> or NYT Games app. However, you\u2019ll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.<\/p>\n

The NYT Mini <\/em>is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to beat the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can’t quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer.<\/p>\n

To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini<\/em> Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course<\/strong>):<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
