In case you missed Sunday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
Wondering what a group loaded with superstars is called? Not sure what a Vulcan mind thing is? 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 Monday, November 4 (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

It took me 2:49 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
Wow, that was extremely slow by my standards. I really struggled after getting MCS. I couldn’t figure out anything. However, I finally deduced the “hangman” clue, then felt like I had to use the word check tool for ARMS and ELMS to make sure they were correct. Those helped me eventually figure out “dream team,” which opened the gateway for the rest of the answers. I had no idea who the founder of the Red Cross was, but the Across clues filled in the blanks for me.
