Mini crossword
In case you missed Thursday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper’s longest running crossword puzzle. Most days, there are three to five clues in each direction on a five-by-five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.
Unlike its older sibling, the NYT Mini the crossword puzzle is free to play at New York Times website or the NYT Games app. However, you will need a NYT Games subscription to access past puzzles in the archives.
The NYT Mini it’s 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 figure out a clue or two and have to reveal the answer.
To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers ahead, of course):

New puzzle today, and it’s a total 5v5 grid, which they tend to do from time to time. I thought this was on the easy side, but there are some tough ones in here. The meter races were a bit tough and it took me until the end to get them. The rest? Less. I also think Aloha was a clue like five times at this point.
