About the Mini
Forbes describes the NYT Mini as a compact version of the larger crossword, usually set on a five-by-five grid with three to five clues in each direction. Some Saturday puzzles are larger. Holt reported completing this puzzle in 0:35 and described it as a little difficult; that is the contributor’s own reported solve, not an independent test.
Playing or finding past puzzles
Holt’s August 2024 guide said the Mini could be played free on the NYT website or NYT Games app, while access to past puzzles in the archive required an NYT Games subscription. Those access details reflect the guide’s publication date, not a current confirmation of NYT terms; check the NYT Games site or app for today’s availability.
