It’s Saturday afternoon, which means we have Sunday’s NYT Mini Crossword to solve. The New York Times has stuffed this fun little game behind the NYT Games App paywall, unfortunately, but you can still play on the desktop site by pressing “escape” a couple times (apparently). That’s the workaround I’m aware of but, of course, subscribing to the Games app is also an option. In any case, let’s solve today’s Mini!

Looking for Saturday’s NYT Mini Crossword? Here are some hints and answers.

The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword. While it used to be free, in August the Mini was placed behind the NYT Games App paywall. This has led to a noticeable decline in people playing the game, unfortunately. You can check out all of the NYT Games, free and paid, right here.
