In case you missed Tuesday’s NYT Mini Crossword puzzle, you can find the answers here:
Another rainy May day here in the mountains. We need it and I’m not complaining in the slightest. It’s the right kind of weather for solving puzzles, reading a good book, sipping on a warm beverage and staying indoors. Let’s solve today’s Mini!
The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it’s free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you’ll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.
If you need a little help solving the Mini Crossword as fast as possible, read on for all of today’s answers.
Spoilers ahead!
