NYT Mini Crossword: A Quick and Easy Puzzle for Everyone

The New York Times Mini Crossword is perfect for those days when you only have a few minutes to spare. It’s smaller than the regular Crossword Puzzle but is still surprisingly fun; this is why so many people already know this one and are already completing this everyday – and they should, because its accessibility for beginners make it one of the better introductory versions available today. Unlike its big brother, it’s completely free. You can play it online or using the app; but using that app gets access to past versions of this fun game!

One trick is prioritizing ACROSS or DOWN clues based on which one seems the most straightforward. I use this method frequently; tackling the more obvious clues first and the less obvious ones later really gives that sense of accomplishment and increases how likely solving everything completely.

Across Clues and Answers:

My Solving Strategy (and Why I Struggled!)

I usually find this one easy! But this time, things got more complicated because of timing and tiredness. It helps getting started and once I figured out the easy clues - STONE and HENNA— everything became rather clear. Getting those two helps a lot to build on other clues - GOSH, OTHER and REAR came next. Then I added PENNE, and finally DEER, everything became clear, making solving everything an enjoyable and engaging puzzle. It takes effort, thought and it demonstrates just how the right direction impacts that overall success.

Conclusion: Enjoy the Challenge, and Let Me Know How You Did!
