May 19, 2025 NYT Mini answers
The NYT Mini is a small crossword grid: fill its white squares with letters to solve the Across and Down clues. The answers below follow the clue order in Parade’s date-specific solution.
Across
- NBC — Network satirized on “30 Rock,” for short
- POLO — Sport played on horseback
- MOVER — One for whom every day is Boxing Day?
- GREEN — Like correct letters in Wordle
- MELD — Blend together
Down
- NOVEL — “Invisible Man” or “Little Women”
- BLEED — Run in the wash
- CORN — What bourbon whiskey is primarily made from
- PORE — Tiny hole in the skin
- MGM — Longtime movie studio acquired by Amazon in 2022
Why the Boxing Day answer is MOVER
The clue is singular and the entry has five letters, so MOVER fits. Parade prints MOVER, while a contemporary Forbes answer list prints MOVERS for this clue. The singular form matches both the clue wording and the grid entry.
