In case you missed Thursday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
Wonder who the long time host was Top cook is; Not sure what a “goose egg” is? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with the answers for today’s NYT Mini crossword puzzle.
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 for Friday July 26 (spoilers ahead, of course):

He called me 0:46 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
I got OWN UP and PADMA (being a Top cook fan who hasn’t seen the most recent season yet) on my first pass through the Across elements. But at first I thought the latter was “lumps” or “bumps” as in having a so-called goose egg on one’s head. But neither made sense with what was clearly LOPEZ at 1 Down.
I got most of the Down clues right away except for the last one, just because it didn’t click right away. However, I was able to use the completed letters to complete the Across clues.
