In case you missed Tuesday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper’s larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.
Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you’ll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.
The NYT Mini is 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 quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer.
To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course):
NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers
ACROSS
1) Folded layer of a McGriddle – EGG
4) Host of the 2024 Summer Olympics – PARIS
6) Plant that’s a source for tequila or mescal – AGAVE
7) This clue number – SEVEN
8) Romantic getaway? – TRYST
DOWN
1) Rarin’ to go – EAGER
2) Turkey Day topping – GRAVY
3) “What ___?” (“Can you explain this mess?”) – GIVES
4) Destination for a time machine – PAST
5) “The document should be in your inbox now” – SENT
I guess we are no longer doing the 5×5 blank grid like we’ve done the last few days, with EGG sitting in the three letter spot up top. Not that hard of a puzzle today as I mean, what else is a Thanksgiving topping besides GRAVY, and SEVEN might be the easiest answers this puzzle has ever had. I did have a bit of trouble with TRYST and AGAVE, though. What about you?
