What to expect from the Mini

The Mini is a compact, five-by-five crossword designed to be solved quickly. Early-week puzzles (like Monday) tend to be the most straightforward, with difficulty ramping up toward the weekend. New puzzles typically go live late in the evening ahead of publication day, with weekend timing adjusted earlier.

Where to play today’s Mini

You can solve on the web or in the NYT Games app. Start the puzzle on the official Mini page: nytimes.com/crosswords/game/mini. An NYT Games subscription is required for current puzzles and for browsing the archives.

That’s today’s grid sorted. Check back tomorrow for a fresh set of clues—and likely a slightly tougher vibe as the week moves on.
