In case you missed Wednesday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
Wondering what an alternative to Saran wrap is? Not sure which basketball star co-hosts the ABC game show Lucky 13? 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 Thursday, November 7 (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

It took me 0:30 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
That’s more like it. I think that’s my first sub-minute solve in the past week.
I managed to get everything on the Across pass except for SLED, though it took me a second to figure out LANES. O’NEAL was the only answer I missed on the Down clues, but I filled in the missing square to get SLED in a decent time.
