ForbesToday’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Monday, June 30

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

DOWN

5) ___ Williams (bourbon brand) – EVAN
6) Piece of baseball equipment – MITT

Some good clues today like the walk/jog combo with wholly different answers. I also liked “picture you always keep on you” for tattoo. I am not sure “eviler” is a word, so that one was a bit hard to guess. I don’t know the last time I’ve heard anyone say nincompoop or dolt, so I guess it makes sense that they’re paired together. And who can forget Meta, Mark Zuckerberg’s failed attempt to dive into the metaverse but he still got stuck naming his company that.
