Today’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Monday, May 19
Mini Crossword
In case you missed Sunday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
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.
The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to beat the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can’t quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer.
To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

Mini
Honestly a pretty tough mini today, I only knew a few of these off the top of my head, mainly NBC, POLO and MGM. I’ve been drinking enough bourbon lately to remember it’s made of CORN. The Boxing Day clue was the most clever and tricky as I was think it was well, a boxer, who boxes, but nope. Different kind of boxes. Very tricky Mini, very tricky.
