Today’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Monday, September 1
In case you missed Sunday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
Time for a new, seasonal themed Mini that is not going to be exactly what you think. But first…
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):
NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers
ACROSS
1) Icon of the Cuban Revolution – CHE
4) Sound of a fall – THUD
5) Sound of a spring – BOING
6) How far an electric vehicle can go before recharging – RANGE
7) GPS lines: Abbr. – RDS

1) Goatees grow on them – CHINS
2) Like a deadlocked jury – HUNG
3) Slight advantage – EDGE
4) Mushroom-headed character of the Mario games – TOAD
5) Sound of winter – BRRR
I guess they couldn’t think of a Sound of Summer, huh? Well, the others were a bit tricky and I thought that the sound of a fall would be “ouch,” as it took the same amount of letters, but I guess not. I did not know what other possible noise a spring would make, however. My video game knowledge gave me Toad, so that helped things along. I don’t remember the last time I’ve abbreviated “roads” “RDS,” but I guess that’s a thing. Maybe they just mean Rd. like normal? But plural? Weird.
