This is the Wednesday, September 23, 2026 NYT Mini Crossword—not today’s puzzle. The available dated guides list all ten clues, but their accessible pages do not verify the complete answer set, so answers should not be guessed or presented as confirmed.
What is known about the September 23 puzzle?
NYTSolver describes the puzzle as a 5×5 grid, credits Sam Ezersky as its constructor, and names Joel Fagliano as editor. Those credits come from a third-party guide; an official NYT puzzle page was not available to independently confirm them.
Clues for the September 23, 2026 Mini
Across
- “Sorry about that!”

Are the answers verified?
No complete solution set is established by the accessible versions of the dated answer-guide pages. They show the clue prompts but hide or omit the full answers. Without an independently accessible solution source, the entries cannot responsibly be supplied as verified facts.
How to use these clues
If you are checking a grid you saved from September 23, use the clue lists above to identify the entries you want to verify. Treat any proposed answer set elsewhere as unconfirmed unless you can check it against the original puzzle or another source that displays the complete grid.
