The date-specific answer list for the Thursday, October 16, 2025 NYT Mini Crossword could not be verified, so I can’t safely publish an across-and-down key. October 16, 2024 was a Wednesday; the Thursday date in this title points to 2025, not to the different puzzle covered by a 2024 article.
Thursday, October 16, 2025 answer key
A Barchart result syndicated on Webull and dated October 15, 2025 matches the October 16, 2025 puzzle, but its page was not retrievable. The clues and answers therefore remain unverified. I’m leaving the grid blank rather than risk giving you answers from another day.
Where to play the Mini
Forbes reported in 2024 that the NYT Mini is available on the New York Times website and NYT Games app, and that accessing archived puzzles requires an NYT Games subscription. Access terms may change; check the current NYT Games page for details. The Mini typically has three to five clues in each direction on a five-by-five grid, though some puzzles—especially Saturdays—may be larger.
