Three answer guides—the Parade guide, Try Hard Guides’ answer page, and The Economic Times’ clue-and-answer article—report the same set. This is a past puzzle, and the answer key is corroborated by those secondary sources; the cited sources do not establish an official NYT archive page for this specific grid.

If you are solving rather than checking the whole grid, use the numbering to look up only the clue you are stuck on. The crossings can help distinguish short entries that may initially seem interchangeable: 1A is TATA, while 1D is TSP; 7D is the three-letter STY.
The longer entries are especially identifiable from their clue wording: the city clue points to PARIS, Clark’s surname is KENT, and the Bowie-attributed clue resolves to AGING. If you want to preserve the solving experience, read just the matching clue-answer pair rather than scanning the full list.

What is the answer to the David Bowie clue?
The answer to 4-Down is AGING. Its clue quotes the description attributed to Bowie: “An extraordinary process whereby you become the person you always should have been.”
Because this is a dated answer lookup, the key is tied to the August 25, 2025 puzzle rather than a current day’s Mini. Puzzle access and archive policies can change, so consult the publisher for current availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Was August 25, 2025 a Monday?
Yes. The date fell on a Monday, which is why the contemporary answer pages label it the Monday puzzle. The clue key here refers to that specific date, not a recurring or current puzzle.
Is this an official NYT answer key?
The available verification is agreement among three dated secondary answer guides, not a confirmed NYT archive page for this exact grid. Treat it as a corroborated published answer key rather than a direct NYT confirmation.

What time did the NYT Mini reset in 2025?
Two contemporary secondary guides described a 10 p.m. Eastern reset. That is historical reporting from 2025, not confirmation of the current schedule; check NYT for present-day timing.
