Time for a new Mini and it can help you break the speed record.
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):

Mini
A mix of hard and easy here. I mean, pay-per-view? Really; I spend all my time online so TAB was easy. I didn’t actually know how many medals Katie Ledecky won, but I know a four letter number that ends in NE, so it was pretty easy. What tripped me up was the quarter where I obviously thought it was money but smartly it wasn’t.
