In case you missed Monday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
Wondering what an official state sport of South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming is? Not sure what a phone pop-up might be? 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 Tuesday, November 26 (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

It took me 0:43 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
Not a bad time at all, especially considering that I missed the first few Across clues at first. WRIST and RODEO should have been obvious in hindsight. I spent a good 10 seconds mulling over ALERT too before cutting my losses and moving on.
I flew through the Down words except for SERTA — not a brand I’m familiar with. But the Across answers were all pretty clear at that point with just a few letters left to fill in.
