Mini Crossword The NYT Mini 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. Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app.
However, you’ll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives. The NYT Mini 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. To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers ( spoilers lie ahead, of course ): 1) Only rock that humans regularly eat - SALT 5) Ten-legged sea creature - CRAB 6) Ones who might be "cheesed off" (annoyed) or "chuffed to bits" (happy) - BRITS 7) Right-E? - EAST 8) Fencing sword - EPEE FEATURED | Frase By Forbes TM Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder 1) Throw in the trash - SCRAP 2) Come up - ARISE 3) Caffè ___ (espresso drink) - LATTE 4) Cable channel that airs March Madness games - TBS 6) Busy buzzer - BEE NYT Okay, I’m gonna call this one pretty tough actually. I am not sure the average person has any idea what an “epee” is.
I know rapier as a fencing sword but that’s about it. I also did not realize a lot of crustaceans have ten legs including crabs. I mean, I’ve eaten them, off the crab.
I guess I didn’t realize they were all from the same crab. The things you learn doing the Mini every day. Follow me on Twitter , YouTube , Bluesky and Instagram .
