In case you missed Wednesday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
Wondering what a historic performance at Milan’s La Scala or Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre might be? Not sure what it means to be squirmy and fidgety? 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, September 26 (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

It took me 1:02 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
A slower time than usual for me today. I only got the first two answers on my first Across pass, then missed MEANT and PRIES on the Downs. I then missed TRAIN on my second go of the Across words, but completed the grid when I got back to the Down clues.
