The Mini is a bite-sized version of The New York Times‘ adored daily crossword. While the crossword is a longer affair that requires both knowledge and patience, The Mini has a very different vibe.
Since only a handful of clues need to be answered, the daily puzzle also serves as a speed test for many players.
So when a tricky clue disrupts the flow of the game, it can be frustrating! If you get stuck while playing The Mini – similar to Wordle and Connections – we’re here to help.
