In case you missed Sunday’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) Unit of toilet paper – ROLL
5) Cookie advertised with the slogan “Twist, Lick, Dunk” – OREO
6) Word after bird or binge – WATCH
8) Amused text shorthand – LMAO
9) What always goes to waist? – BELT
DOWN
1) One of five in a Mini crossword – ROW
2) Dental care brand – ORALB
3) “Please, it would be my pleasure”- LETME
4) ___ news (11 p.m. broadcast) – LOCAL
7) Like jalapeños and Death Valley – HOT
A few weird ones in here today. First of all, “amused text shorthand” is not LMAO as that is for something really funn. Lol or haha would be better ones and I picked the second which messed me up on other words for a while. LETME was hard as I always hate two word ones. The BELT going to the waist was clever. And I am never, ever going to get a clue about Oreos wrong.
