Completed the NYT Mini Crossword for Friday August 16th.
He took me 2:53 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
Another tough one, but it was also a bigger grid than usual for a Friday. I got JEREMY (since I just finished his last season The Bear this week) and SHADOW on my first stab at the Down indications. The JEST and YEWS on the Down clues helped me figure out ESCAPE from the other side.
This made MESHES and IMPORT clear. Back to the Across cues and the TENORS and SENT were then clear. These finally helped me figure out ARCANE and LEAD ON to complete the grid.
