The New York Times Crossword Puzzle is legendary. But if you don't have that much time, the Mini Crossword is an entertaining substitute. The Mini Crossword is much easier than the old-school NYT Crossword, and you probably can complete it in a couple of minutes. But if you're stuck, we've got the answers.
The Mini Crossword is far from alone in the Times' stable of games. Our home page also always has the answers for Wordle, Connections and Strands.
Let's get at those Mini Crossword clues and answers.
