Today’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Sunday, August 10
In case you missed Saturday’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):

This was definitely a speed run day without a doubt. Even if you know only half the clues, that’s enough to fill in the blanks to race toward the not-that-difficult other half. You can start with the only fictional sports icon you can probably even name, Rocky, and move on from there to werewolf moons or shivering from the cold. The only mildly tricky one was about Adam Driver, Bradley Cooper or Austin Butler, but by the time you got _CTOR it was kind of self-explanatory.
