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.

Completed New York Times Mini crossword for Friday, June 6.
It took me 0:30 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
A pretty straightforward Mini for me, save for not knowing ILIUM. I got everything else on the Across side on my first pass (though I’m not a fan of self-referential clues like 9 Across) and filled in the blanks on the Down side. Not much of an in-depth thought-process walkthrough this time, sorry!
That’s the end of my current stint of NYT Mini coverage. I’ll be back with you in two weeks for more NYT Mini fun!
