In case you missed Tuesday’s NYT Mini Crossword puzzle, you can find the answers here:
Wednesday—Odin’s Day—is here again, and with it a brand new NYT Mini Crossword for us to solve.
The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it’s free-to-play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or the app, though you’ll need the app to tackle the archive.
Spoilers ahead!

Overall, a pretty easy Mini today. It only took me 1:01, and I was a little rusty on my knock-knock jokes! Fortunately, laundry is a thing of the present and RINSE and EGGOS were pretty easy to get, and most everything else filled in from there.

If you also play Wordle, I write guides about that as well. You can find those and all my TV guides, reviews and much more here on my blog. Thanks for reading!
