About the puzzle format and archive
The 2024 guide describes the Mini as usually having between three and five clues in each direction on a five-by-five grid, while noting that Saturday puzzles can be larger. That general format description does not establish the exact layout of the September 7 puzzle.
The same guide said the Mini was free to play on the NYT website or NYT Games app, while earlier puzzles in the archive required an NYT Games subscription. Those access details were reported in September 2024 and may have changed; check the current NYT Games site or app for present availability and terms.
