Are you almost done with your daily dose of wordplay? Let's decode the last clues together! Our daily guide to NYT's The Mini will help you finish today's edition—and every day's puzzle—in no time. Whether you're a serious crossword fan or just love a good challenge, this page is your go-to for quick answers and tips. 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.

Its brevity makes it suitable for a quick daily mental exercise.
