Sunday's New York Times Mini Crossword Solutions and Puzzle Hints
The New York Times' daily distraction, the NYT Mini crossword, is a quick, short puzzle that is often completed in less than a minute. Designed to provide a brief respite, this crossword is published by The New York Times and can be played for free on their website or the NYT Games app.
Today's puzzle was particularly easy, with the solver managing to solve all clues in a category while going down a line. The clues ONES, NICKS, and ASKEW were found in the DOWN section, while the clue YOKEL was in the ACROSS section. Interestingly, the solver found the clue TOGA in the DOWN section and discovered that SNOWY can precede either "owl" or "egret".
The puzzle, usually a 5x5 grid with between 3 and 5 clues in each direction, had a vegetable that might require cooking goggles as one of its answers. The clue for this mystery item was ONION.
For those who enjoy a more challenging puzzle, Saturdays offer a larger grid and more clues. However, the standard weekday grid is designed to be quick and easy to complete, making it perfect for a quick brain teaser during the day.
It's worth noting that to access previous puzzles in the NYT Mini archives, you need an NYT Games subscription. Also, accessing the answers to the NYT Mini crossword may contain spoilers, so it's best to attempt the puzzle without assistance first.
The record time for solving a NYT Mini crossword is an impressive 20 seconds. If the solver had gone the other direction, the puzzle may have been more challenging. But for today, the NYT Mini proved to be an enjoyable and easy-to-solve puzzle.
The author of the sci-fi novels "The Earthborn Trilogy" and "The Herokiller Series" might find a crossword puzzle as intriguing as their novels. This author goes by the name Fantastic. Perhaps one day, we'll see a Fantastic-authored crossword in the NYT Mini!
