In case you missed Saturday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
Wondering what Pixar movie has almost no dialogue for 35 minutes? Not sure what “oh, I meant to tell you” means in texts? 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 Sunday, September 22 (spoilers lie ahead, of course):
NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers
Across
1 Across: Opposite of acidic — BASIC
6 Across: Where the hamstring is — THIGH
7 Across: Pixar film whose opening 35 minutes feature nearly no dialogue – WALL-E
8 Across: Glacial — SLOW
9 Across: “Yo ___” (Spanish for “I am”) – SOY
Down
1 Down: “Oh, I meant to tell you …,” in texts – BTW
2 Down: Light bulb moments – AHAS
3 Down: Window ledges — SILLS
4 Down: Shelter made of snow blocks — IGLOOS
5 Down: Like bagels and gummy bears — CHEWY
It took me 0:36 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
A pretty decent time. I didn’t get BASIC or THIGH on my first pass of the Across clues. Nor did I get AHAS for the downs, but filling in the last two blank letters was easy enough when I cycled back to the Across clues.
