Which date is this Mini?
This answer key is for Wednesday, August 6, 2025. The date matters: August 6, 2026 falls on a Thursday, so it is not the Wednesday puzzle identified by the cited guides.
The clue wording and answer list above are reported by Parade. Forbes corroborates that its guide covers the same dated puzzle, but these are secondary publications rather than the original NYT archive.
