The Mini Crossword is a shorter and more accessible version of the traditional NYT crossword puzzle, designed to be completed quickly. It typically features a 5x5 grid and a set of clues that are often playful or punny. However, recently, NYT has made it a little more challenging for cruciverbalists on Saturdays by adding more than five down and across clues to solve. Its brevity makes it suitable for a quick daily mental exercise.
