Looking for help with today’s NYT Mini Crossword? Here are some tips and answers for it … [+]
In case you missed Saturday’s NYT Mini Crossword, you can find the answers here:
The last lazy Sunday of October is here and we only have a few days until Halloween and beyond Dia de los Muertos on November 1 and 2. There are many holidays and celebrations coming up. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year. Time flies. Let’s solve today’s Mini Crossword?
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 New York Times subscription. You can play it on the web or in the app, though you’ll need the app to deal with the file.
A good tactic with crosswords is to try to get as many ACROSSes as possible first, then you’ll find that many of the BELOW ones have already been done — or vice versa if the ACROSS ones are harder.
Obviously, spoilers. Go ahead for today’s solved puzzle image.

Today’s Mini Crossword
This wasn’t bad, although I did get thrown off a few times when I used the wrong word. I tried MOP at first for 6-down, but it was SOP. Others like RADIO and BIB were very easy out of the gates. Same with BURST. Overall, a much easier crossword puzzle than yesterday’s.
