Wondering what boardwalk addition raises rent to $2,000? Not sure what P.R. buzz might mean? 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.

Here are extra hints and the official NYT Mini Crossword clues and answers for Thursday, June 5:

HOTEL was a slightly tricky one, but I got there after a few seconds. There was no chance I was going to get YUCCA, while HYPE is one that I should have figured out. In any case, I was able to quickly clear the Down answers for a time I was pretty happy with.
