How to check or reveal an entry in the NYT puzzle
The New York Times Help Center documents keyboard navigation and a “lifesaver” control that can check or reveal a square, an answer, or the whole puzzle. The Mini is described there as a smaller version of the NYT Crossword and is available to users whose subscriptions include Games, such as Games All Access, Home Delivery, or Games. Subscription packaging and access can change; consult the NYT Help Center’s Mini guide for current details. Parade’s publication-era guide described the Mini as free and said it resets at 10 p.m.; those details should not be treated as permanent access or reset policies.
