Today’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Friday, August 15
In case you missed Thursday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
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.
The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to beat the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can’t quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer.
To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

Sort of an off-season winter theme here between sledding, pine trees and soup, which you would eat inside when it’s cold. Meanwhile, it’s 90 degree where I am, which doesn’t really narrow it down, given that it’s roughly 90% of the country at all times now. I didn’t actually know what a Sugar Pine was, but now I want to find some of those giant pinecones.
