This page covers the Thursday, September 24, 2026, NYT Mini Crossword. It is a 5×5 puzzle with five Across and five Down clues. The dated clue lists are available, but the answer strings are not verifiable from the cited pages, so a complete solution grid cannot be provided reliably here.

Why the answer grid is not included
NYTSolver.com and Try Hard Guides list the September 24, 2026 puzzle and its clues, but the answer strings do not appear in the text available from either dated page. Without a verified grid, supplying answers would risk giving you incorrect entries.
How to play or open the archive puzzle
The New York Times Help Center explains that the aim is to fill white squares with letters so Across and Down answers intersect. Eligible subscribers can play in the Games app, at nytimes.com/crosswords, or in the News app. Past Mini puzzles are available in the web and Games app archives; each daily Mini becomes available the evening before its publication date.
