About the NYT Mini and puzzle access
Forbes describes the Mini as a compact version of the larger New York Times Crossword. Its report says most daily puzzles use a 5×5 grid with three to five clues in each direction, while some are larger, especially on Saturdays. It also says the Mini is free on the NYT website or NYT Games app, while access to past puzzles in the archives requires an NYT Games subscription. Those access details reflect Forbes’ July 17, 2025 report and are not a confirmation of current subscription terms. Forbes’ July 17, 2025 answer report is the source for the clue set and these format and access descriptions.
