How to find more Mini puzzles
The New York Times’ general crossword help page explains the Across-and-Down format and says Games and All Access subscribers can view past archived puzzles. That guidance covers the NYT Crossword generally; it does not independently confirm this specific Mini puzzle’s archive listing. See the NYT Crossword Help Center.
For a print option, the New York Times Store lists Mini Crossword volumes, and its product description says a volume contains 150 puzzles. Macmillan’s page for The New York Times Mini Crosswords, Volume 1 also describes a collection of Mini puzzles and lists retailers. Neither page establishes that the January 7, 2025 daily puzzle appears in the book. Browse Mini Crosswords at the NYT Store or see Macmillan’s Volume 1 page.
