March 25, 2025 NYT Mini Crossword answers
Spoiler warning: The complete answer key is below. These are answers to the Mini, not the larger NYT Crossword for the same date.
Across
- “Grouchy homeowner in Pixar’s ‘Up’” — CARL
- “Sneezy sound” — ACHOO
- “Speedy sound” — VROOM
- “Pick up on” — SENSE
- “Facebook message status after ‘Sent’ and ‘Delivered’” — SEEN
Down
- “#1 seed in the N.B.A.’s Eastern Conference, informally” — CAVS
- “Farmers’ lots” — ACRES
- “French wine region” — RHONE
- “Like lips that sink ships” — LOOSE
- “Anomaly taken as a sign, say” — OMEN
The clue-and-answer pairs are reported by Parade’s March 25, 2025 answer guide. Rhône is written without an accent in the grid as RHONE.
How the clues point to the answers
The Across clues include direct references and familiar sounds: Carl is the homeowner in Pixar’s Up, ACHOO is a sneeze, and VROOM suggests speed. “Pick up on” means SENSE, while SEEN completes the message-status sequence after Sent and Delivered.
#1 Best Overall
The Down clues mix shorthand and wordplay. CAVS is informal shorthand for Cleveland’s Cavaliers; ACRES fits farmers’ lots; and RHONE names a French wine region. “Loose lips” provides the sound-alike phrase behind LOOSE, while an anomaly interpreted as a sign can be an OMEN.
