Mini crosswords
If you missed Friday’s “NYT Mini,” you can find the answers here:
The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper’s longer, bulkier crosswords. Most of the time, there are three to five clues in each direction on a five-by-five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.
Unlike its big brother, the NYT Mini Crosswords are free to play on the New York Times website or the NYT Games app. However, you will need a NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.
The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to complete the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can’t figure out a clue or two and have to reveal the answer.
To help you avoid this, here are the NYT articles Mini Crossword Answers (Spoilers await you, of course):

Crosswords
This is my first time actually doing a guide for this so it was fun. My time was 3:46 which is longer than my buddy Kris usually does for these things. I had a few that tripped me up like HARPSON, I didn’t really think two words. I also had PIC and AXE for the guitar accessory before AMP which kind of messed it up.
Nice little puzzle and I look forward to doing more of these guides all week.
