In case you missed Wednesday’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) Chief Norse god – ODIN
5) Required number – QUOTA
6) Open, as a sleeping bag – UNZIP
7) Puts a cold pack on – ICES
8) Scrabble value of the circled letters – TEN
DOWN
1) Unit of weight whose symbol includes a “z” – OUNCES
2) Baker’s ___ – DOZEN
3) “That’s correct” – IT IS
4) Hit the hay during the day – NAP
5) Give up – QUIT
Well that’s certainly a different puzzle today. In all my time doing this I cannot remember a circled letter concept, though perhaps I missed one some where along the way. I didn’t actually know the scrabble value but I can spell “ten.” The best clue I thought was the unit of measurement with a Z in it, as that was really clever with ounce/oz.
