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<p>Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT <em>Mini <\/em>crossword is free to play on the <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/crosswords\/game\/mini\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/crosswords\/game\/mini\" aria-label=\"New York Times website\"><u data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/crosswords\/game\/mini\">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<p>The NYT <em>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&#8217;t quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer.<\/p>\n<p>To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT <em>Mini<\/em> Crossword answers (<strong>spoilers lie ahead, of course<\/strong>):<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"nyt-mini-crossword-clues-answers\">\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed\">NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers<\/h2>\n<p><strong>ACROSS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) It takes you from E to F (and starts with G!) &#8211; GAS<br \/>4) Animal that has a symbiotic relationship with green algae, which grows in its fur &#8211; SLOTH<br \/>6) Societal no-no &#8211; TABOO<br \/>7) &#8220;Sorry, unavailable then&#8221;  &#8211; ICANT<br \/>8) Color associated with passion &#8211; RED<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) Turn in the fridge, maybe &#8211; GOBAD<br \/>2) Lots and lots &#8211; ATON<br \/>3) Something a bartender or basketball player might make &#8211; SHOT<br \/>4) Mix, as a sauce &#8211; STIR<br \/>5) Frilly material &#8211; LACE<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed-base image-embed embed-3\" role=\"presentation\"\/>\n<p>Not the hardest puzzle today, but I like the clue about a basketball player and a bartender.
