Saturday Mini puzzle context
The Word Finder describes the NYT Mini as a bite-size crossword in NYT Games and says Saturday’s grid is 7×7; Sunday through Friday grids are 5×5. Parade gives this puzzle a 10 p.m. reset time but does not specify a time zone, so that time should not be treated as local everywhere.
