In case you missed Tuesday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
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.
The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to beat the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can’t quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer.
To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course):
NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers
ACROSS
1) On this spot – HERE
5) = – EQUAL
7) Organisms that sound like someone you’d enjoy hanging out with – FUNGI
8) Where the North Base Camp for Mount Everest can be found – TIBET
9) Combustible funeral structure – PYRE
DOWN
1) Serious weight – HEFT
2) Furnish with supplies – EQUIP
3) Bring up to in order to get a quick opinion – RUNBY
4) Like the proverbial beaver – EAGER
6) Miller ___ (beer) – LITE
I gotta say I think that the equal sign might be one of the easiest clues in puzzle history as I mean, there are literally no other answers. Past that, I knew pyre because that’s how I want to go out, but sadly we do not live in viking times. We have the classic fungi joke that would make any dad proud. Here it was probably not top of mind. And yeah, after today, probably time for a Miller Lite.
