This page is for the Monday, December 2, 2024 NYT Mini Crossword. The date matters: December 2, 2025 was a Tuesday. The dated clue list contains five Across and five Down entries; only one answer is confirmed here, so the other clues are listed without guessed solutions.
Across clues
- “Be quiet!”
- “Light weight”
- “Director for a Broadway production, perhaps?”
- “Heavy, horned herbivore” — RHINO
- “Calligrapher’s tool”
The dated Try Hard Guides page for December 2, 2024 lists these clues. Its linked clue page confirms RHINO for “Heavy, horned herbivore.”
Down clues
- “___ grapes”
- “Be quiet!”
- “Socially square”
- “Acting assignment in theater class”
- “Long-legged bird with an S-shaped neck”
The available dated clue listing does not supply a verified answer key for these entries. The completed grid and the other nine answers are therefore not confirmed here; filling them in would risk giving you incorrect solutions.
Why the year is 2024
The weekday in the title resolves the date: December 2, 2024 fell on a Monday, while December 2, 2025 was a Tuesday. The clue list cited above is specifically dated December 2, 2024. XWord Info’s December 2, 2024 page is for the full-size crossword, not the Mini, so it cannot confirm Mini answers.
