About this dated answer key
The answer list was published by CNET and syndicated by Yahoo on September 13, 2026. The Word Finder also displays the September 13, 2026 clue set and describes the Mini as a bite-size NYT Games crossword, usually 5×5 Sunday through Friday and 7×7 on Saturdays. Those grid dimensions and its description of hint and reveal controls are third-party page descriptions, not independent test results.
