Clues And Answers For Wednesday, February 19

In case you missed Tuesday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:

Wondering PlantNet and iNaturalist are? Not sure which British singer’s Carpool Karaoke video has over 250 million views on YouTube? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with the answers for today’s NYT Mini crossword.

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.

To help you avoid getting stuck and having to reveal missing letters, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers for Wednesday, February 19 (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

It took me 0:43 to complete today’s NYT Mini.

Not a terrible time, but not one I’m gonna frame and hang on the wall either. I didn’t get the APP reference at all, but I had a decent idea about the ADELE one. LOTUS and ELK were easy enough, but I didn’t figure out TRACT. The Down clues were then all fairly straightforward, but I did hesitate for a slight moment with ALT and EST.
