Quick Tips for Solving the NYT Mini Crossword
Guess and refine. If a clue feels uncertain, fill in your best guess. You can adjust it as more letters appear.
Switch between Across and Down. Stuck on one side? Move to the other—it often reveals letters that help solve the first.
Expect wordplay. Mini Crossword creators love clever twists. Look for alternative meanings or puns when clues seem tricky.
