Which October 24 puzzle is this?
The year is 2024: the matching Forbes article was published October 23, 2024, at 10:12 p.m. EDT, for the edition labeled Thursday, October 24. That date matters because the title without a year could otherwise refer to a different puzzle.
How the Mini works and where to play
In its October 2024 description, Forbes characterizes the Mini as a short version of the newspaper’s larger crossword, usually with three to five clues in each direction on a five-by-five grid; some puzzles can be larger, especially on Saturdays. The article says daily play is free on the New York Times website or NYT Games app, while access to previous puzzles in the archives requires an NYT Games subscription. Those access details are the article’s October 2024 account, not independently verified current terms.
