The answer is HOTEL. It is 6 Across in the Thursday, June 5, 2025, NYT Mini Crossword. The clue refers to Monopoly: adding a hotel to Boardwalk raises the rent shown in the game to $2,000.
Why the answer is HOTEL
In Monopoly, players can add a hotel to a property after developing it with houses. Boardwalk is the property named in the clue, and the hotel is the improvement that triggers the stated rent. The clue’s $2,000 is a Monopoly game amount, not a claim about real-world rent. Forbes’ June 2025 answer report identifies HOTEL for 6 Across; Crossword Solver corroborates the answer.

Which puzzle this answer identifies
This answer is for the NYT Mini dated Thursday, June 5, 2025—not a similarly worded clue in another crossword. Forbes’ June 4, 2025 report said that the Mini could be played on the New York Times website or Games app and that access to previous puzzles in the archive required an NYT Games subscription at that time. Those access details are dated and should not be taken as confirmation of current subscription terms.
