About the Mini and access
The Mini is typically a five-by-five crossword with three to five clues in each direction, though larger grids can appear, particularly on Saturdays, according to Forbes. Forbes reported that the Mini was free on the NYT website or Games app, while access to archived puzzles required an NYT Games subscription. That is a description reported for the June 2025 puzzle coverage, not a guarantee of current access terms.
