Mini crossword
In case you missed the Friday”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):

Crossword puzzle
This is the first time I’ve actually made a guide for this, so it was fun. My time was 3:46 which is longer than my colleague Kris usually does for these. I had a few that tripped me up like HARPSON, that I didn’t really think of as two words. I also had a PIC and AX for the guitar accessory before the AMP that messed things up.
Nice little puzzle and I look forward to doing more of these guides throughout the week.
