ForbesToday’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues and Solutions for Tuesday October 1st

The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper’s larger and long-running crossword puzzle. Most days there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five-by-five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.

In contrast to its bigger brother, the NYT Mini Crosswords are free to play on the New York Times website or the NYT Games app. However, you will need a NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.

The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I’m trying to beat the standard weekday grid in under a minute. But sometimes I can’t quite figure out a clue or two and have to give away the answer.

To help you avoid this, here is the NYT Mini Crossword puzzle solutions (Of course, there are spoilers ahead):

NYT Mini Crossword Clues and Solutions

ABOVE

1) Noodle soup, the national dish of Vietnam – PHO

4) Absent-minded and unreliable – FLAKY

6) Like the silence in a horror movie, let’s say – scary

7) “Sorry, can you repeat that? I ___ listened” – WASN’T

8) Language spoken in Bangkok – THAI

DOWN

1) Fold a kilt – PLEAT

2) Overly negative because criticism – HARD

3) Hawaiian diacritic that looks like an apostrophe – OKINA

4) Hardly – ​​FEW

5) Mythical Mountain Monster – YETI

We’re in a bit of a Vietnam-Thailand-Hawaiian issue cycle this week, and I have to admit that all three threw me for a while at least, especially OKINA, which I’m not that familiar with. I wondered if the mountain monster would be Bigfoot, but that would never fit in the Mini. I also didn’t really follow the kilt and needed some help writing there.
