About the NYT Mini
The Mini is a compact version of the larger crossword. Forbes describes its usual grid as five by five, with three to five clues in each direction; larger puzzles sometimes appear. Its guide says the daily game is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app, while access to archived puzzles requires an NYT Games subscription. Those access details reflect the guide’s report, not a current subscription check. Forbes, June 4, 2025
