ForbesToday’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Sunday, July 6th

And we’re back . . . to another Monday. Another work week. Another sunny summer day. We’re also careening past the halfway point for 2025, which is pretty crazy. It’ll be Christmas before you know it. We also have a NYT Mini Crossword to solve. I have some hints and the answers to today’s Mini below.

The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it’s free-to-play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or the app, though you’ll need the app to tackle the archive.

Spoilers ahead!


How To Solve Today’s Mini Crossword

Before we get to the answers, here’s the first letter for each word in today’s Mini.

A. Coffee, informally … or a big coffee-producing islandJ

5A. Figure skating jumpA

6A. Wide-ranging music playlistsM

8A. On deckN

Okay, onto the answers!

7D. Wilbur’s home in “Charlotte’s Web”STY

This one ended up going quite well. 1-Across wasn’t obvious without the “also an island” bit but that made JAVA pretty clear and then JAM for 2-Down came naturally enough. I couldn’t remember AXEL but I knew it was something like that and initially plugged in AXIS, which worked for 2-Down but not 3-Down (VEXED) but a quick adjustment and I was back up and running. This one took me 58 seconds.

How did you do? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.

If you also play Wordle, I write guides about that as well. You can find those and all my TV guides, reviews and much more here on my blog. Thanks for reading!
