Here is where I would normally share a link to the NYT Mini crossword hints, clues and answers for Saturday but, uh, I forgot to do it. Sorry!
Wondering who a stereotypical wearer of a letterman jacket is? Not sure what M.M.A. fight enders (for short) might be? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with hints and the answers for today’s NYT Mini crossword.
The NYT Mini is a quick version of the newspaper’s larger, long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five Mini grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.
The New York Times has made the Mini available only to subscribers. You’ll also need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.
Here is the first letter for each answer, and the official NYT Mini Crossword clues and answers for Sunday, March 1:
