What to know about finding older Mini puzzles
The Forbes guides include historical, and differing, descriptions of puzzle access: the 2025 guide says a NYT Games subscription is needed for previous puzzles in the archive, while the 2024 guide described the Mini as free on web or app and said the archive required the app. These dated secondary-source notes do not establish NYT’s current access policy.
