Before we get to today’s NYT Mini crossword hints, clues and answers, here are Monday’s:
Wondering what the three primary ingredients in sponge cake are? Not sure what cloth material towels are often made from? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with extra hints and the answers for today’s NYT Mini crossword.
The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper’s larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.
Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you’ll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.
Here are extra hints and the official NYT Mini Crossword clues and answers for Tuesday, June 3:

It took me 1:22 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
This was a fun one, even if it felt as chaotic as me trying to get anything done i nthe kitchen.
I totally forgot what EGGS were, apparently, as I initially thought 1 Across was “salt.” I had a lucky semi-educated guess with FLOUR but didn’t get the rest of the Across clues on my first pass. E FLAT was the key to unlocking everything, I think, as that made me realize 1 Across had to be EGGS. After that, I was able to get the rest of the Down answers no problem.
I’ll be back with you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun!
