About the NYT Mini
The Mini is a compact daily crossword. Forbes describes the usual grid as five by five, with three to five clues in each direction, though the grid can sometimes be larger. Its 2025 coverage says the daily puzzle was free to play on the NYT website or NYT Games app, while older archive puzzles required an NYT Games subscription; check current access terms if you want to revisit this puzzle.
The answer list is reported by AOL and a syndicated report. The NYT archive page for this puzzle was not accessible for direct verification.
