Friday! At last! This is my last day of Mini Crossword guides for the next two weeks. I pass the torch to Kris Holt, then it goes to Paul Tassi, then back to me. I’ll be doing my daily Wordle guides though, and I’ll be back to Strands guides soon, so be sure to follow me on this blog for all the puzzle guides (and more!).
Ok, let’s solve this Mini!
Mini is a smaller, faster, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT crossword, and unlike its bigger sibling, it’s free to play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or in the app, though you’ll need the app to deal with the file.
While some of today’s words are quite simple, some may confuse you. You will find the answers below. Obviously, spoilers. Go ahead for today’s solved puzzle image.

Today’s Mini Crossword
All in all, a pretty doable Mini Crossword today. I had never heard the term “mortar carrier” so I let it fill in with other words. My expert knowledge of all things Game of Thrones did 6 In a breeze. The only other thing that took me a minute was 3 Down. Take a PENNY leave a PENNY. How old-fashioned!
