Check it out. We’re already well past the halfway mark this January, and time, as usual, waits for no one. We just have to do our best to keep going. It’s not easy! In any case, I’m back at the helm of the NYT Mini Crossword guides once again, having taken over from my colleagues Paul Tassi and Kris Holt. We rotate, you see, and I just took over. Let’s solve today’s!
NYT 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.

Today’s Mini
This was a bit of a tricky Mini Crossword, although some of it was stuff I knew right away. I remembered the Will & Harper Netflix documentary and it came up nicely. I guessed ELDER and the new TIM for BURTON. From here, it was just a matter of bouncing back and forth. SOBER was easy enough for 9-DOWN. I always have the most trouble with compound words like 11-ACROSS, even though it’s only three letters. IGO is not something I naturally think about. This took me 2:01 today.
