In case you missed Sunday’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):

Well that was a pretty elaborate puzzle that was probably more elaborate than it needs to be. But it’s funny. If you read the clues as they tell you to it’s HAS BABY ROSES INIT, for the final answer of BED, as in, a rose bed. I did put bud there first, full disclosure. That did not work. There is also a BABY clue that is hitting close to home as that will be me quite literally a week from tomorrow if all goes well. Wish us luck!
