Forbes‘NYT Mini’ Hints For Saturday, June 21: Extra Clues And Answers For Today’s GameBy Kris Holt

Wondering what man’s name fittingly has the same two vowels as BOAT? Not sure what mammal cracks open sea urchins with rocks? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with extra hints and the answers for today’s NYT Mini crossword.

The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper’s larger and long-running crossword. 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.

Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is 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.

Here are extra hints and the official NYT Mini Crossword clues and answers for Sunday, June 22:

NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers

NYT Mini Across Answers

1 Across: Man’s name with the same two vowels as BOAT, fittingly – NOAH

5 Across: Watch in one sitting, as a TV series – BINGE

6 Across: Mammal that cracks open sea urchins with rocks – OTTER

3 Down: One helping to seal the deal – AGENT

4 Down: Groups of buffalo – HERDS

5 Down: ___ the Drag Queen, RuPaul’s Drag Race winner who competed on The Traitors – BOB

It took me 1:12 to complete today’s NYT Mini.

A slightly tough one, today, I thought, so I was pretty happy with my time.

BINGE was the only Across answer I got on my first pass. NOAH didn’t click at all at first and OTTER was on the tip of my tongue, but I decided to move on. I thought 7 Across might have been “buzz” or “client” but neither of those were five letters.

I’m very glad I got AGENT, HERDS and BOB, because I would have been stumped otherwise. The letters they filled in helped me get NOAH and OTTER, and it was easy to fill in NITRO and ON TAP after those.

I’ll see you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun!
