The Mini is a bite-sized version of The New York Times‘adored daily crossword puzzle. While The Crossword is a longer experience that requires both knowledge and patience, The Mini is a completely different atmosphere.

Since there are only a handful of clues to solve, the daily puzzle doubles as a quick-run test for many who play it.

So when a tricky clue disrupts a player’s flow, it can be frustrating! If you’re at a loss when playing The Mini – similar to Wordle and Connections – you’ve come to the right place.
