Looking for yesterday’s NYT Mini answers? You can find them right here:
Wondering which country has won the World Cup four times but failed to qualify for the last three editions? Not sure what word follows spitting or mirror? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with hints and the answers for today’s NYT Mini crossword.
The NYT Mini is a quick version of the newspaper’s larger, long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five-by-five Mini grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.
The New York Times has made the Mini available only to subscribers. You’ll also need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.
