Forbes‘NYT Mini’ Crossword Hints For Tuesday, June 3: Clues And Answers For Today’s GameBy Kris Holt

Wondering what nickname might drop “-uel?” Not sure what San Francisco might be like during the summer? 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 Wednesday, June 4:

It took me 0:56 to complete today’s NYT Mini.

I was so mad about 1 Across. I thought it was MAN as in “Manuel” and the informal form of address. If not for that and putting an “I” instead of a “Y” in DRYER, I would have finished this in no time at all on my first pass of the Across words.

Instead I had to spend time figuring out the problem and troubleshooting it. I realized that 1 Down had to be wrong, so I corrected that. But I’m not familiar with a METER lemon. It took me a moment to realize that 1 Across had to be SAM.

I’ll be back with you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun!
