Forbes‘NYT Mini’ Hints For Sunday, June 22: Extra Clues And Answers For Today’s GameBy Kris Holt

Wondering what “x” might mean? Not sure what a measure of a country’s economic health could be? 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 Monday, June 23:

It took me 0:50 to complete today’s NYT Mini.

An okay time, but it could have been much faster. I dithered over GDP for 10 seconds or so and I thought TIMES was “cross” at first. I didn’t get SEES on my first pass either. The TIMES things should have been clear once I had GAMES, but it didn’t click for me. Oops. Thankfully, the Down answers were all easy enough to find.

I’ll see you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun!
