Here are extra hints and the official NYT Mini Crossword clues and answers for Tuesday, September 16:

It took me 0:29 to complete today’s NYT Mini.

Not a bad time today. It would have been faster if I hadn’t hesitated for a few moments on ELS.

I didn’t know that there were places called Moscow, Belgrade and Stockholm in the U.S., but I did know of Paris, TEXAS. I got HITCH on the Across side too. Thankfully, getting the three Across words made the Down answers a cinch. Fun theme today all the same! I enjoyed this one.

See you tomorrow for more Mini fun!
