Another Monday, another NYT Mini Crossword to solve. Of course, it’s not Monday yet, but the Monday Mini Crossword and the main Crossword both go live on Sunday afternoon. That’s also the case for the Sunday Crossword puzzles, which go live on Saturday afternoon (or evening, depending on your timezone). The rest of the week they go live in the evening. I guess this is just a vestige of the whole Monday - Friday, 9 to 5 work week. In any case, if you’re looking for some clues or the answers to today’s Mini Crossword, I have them below.

Looking for Sunday’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.
