TowerToday’s NYT mini -crosswords and answers for Saturday, April 12With Eric Caine

Yesterday’s mini -crossword was not minimally tiny. It was by far the biggest and most difficult Saturday mini -crossword I have seen since I have passed these drivers. Today is much smaller, though not without its challenges.

NYT MINI is a smaller, faster, more digestible version of NYT’s largest and most provocative crosswords and, unlike its older brother, is free to play with the New York Times without subscription. You can play it online or in the application, although you will need the app to deal with the file.

Spoilers in front!

OPPOSITE

1- State Sch. Founded by Thomas Jefferson – UVA

4- flower containers- pots

6- “crib” or “pillow” for “home”- slang

8- trousers, informal- Rou

9- Nickname Company “Big Blue”- IBM

BELOW

1- Nickname Company “Big Brown”- UPS

2- What does “v” mean on a battery- Volt

3- Big name in the 1980s Arcade Games- Atari

5- glued species-

7- Big Red, e.g.

Today’s NYT MINI Crossword theme is basically “nicknames / slang” or what we call things that are not exactly what it is, such as IBM called “Big Blue” or, obviously, pants are referred to as “tror” to a new slang that I have never heard before and never, never, if they never hear. The; Seriously; Who says this and why are they allowed? In any case, this was much easier than yesterday’s mini, though I wasn’t sure of the first few and I had to skip ahead to fill in the gaps. Today’s puzzle got 1:22.
