Clues related to everyday life
Those who devise the clues for an NYT Mini Crossword seek inspiration from whatever they can. If an activity like washing clothes that is often performed at home can help them create a clue, they will not desist from doing so. Anyone solving mini crosswords must keep this facet of the puzzle in mind. For instance, not very long back, NYT had this clue in one of its mini crosswords – “Washing machine cycle before ‘spin'” and its answer was ‘RINSE’.
Simple answer to a complex clue
This is another way in which NYT plays a trick on puzzle enthusiasts who will see a complex clue and assume that its answer will be equally complex. However, just the opposite happens in reality. The answer will be as simple as it can get. For instance, in one of the past puzzles, the answer to the clue “Competed in a 5K” was the simple, three-letter word ‘RAN’. This is another of the many facets of NYT Minis.
