* Our NYT Mini Crossword Answers Today December 14 will help you confirm whether the words that you formed in the across and down columns were all correct or not.
Some key differences separate an NYT Mini Crossword from its larger counterpart. Traditional crosswords can have complicated clues covering different subjects and can consume hours. A mini crossword on the other hand keeps the challenge to a reasonable level, ensuring that players derive joy without putting in long hours of commitment.
Note: NYT releases Mini Crossword puzzles at 10 p.m. EST from Sunday to Friday and 6 p.m. EST on Saturday.
How To Play NYT Mini Crossword
You will be required to follow the clues for the Across and Down columns and enter letters in the white squares that will help you form words or phrases that overlap each other.
How will you know whether you have finished the puzzle?
If you finish a puzzle, you will hear a music and see a congratulatory message on your screen. If you do not see a message even on filling up the entire grid, it means there is an incorrect entry somewhere. A blue star signifies the end of an NYT Mini Crossword.

Part of Speech
The part of speech of a clue and its answer match. If a clue is a noun, its corresponding answer will also be a noun. Similarly, if a clue is a verb, the word that you are going to fill in in its corresponding column will also be a verb. For instance, the word ‘STUDY’ is both a noun and a verb. So, for the noun, the clue could be “Synonym for library” and for the verb, the clue may read “What students do.”
Number
If a clue is plural, the answer too is going to be plural. For instance, for the answer ‘CHIPS’, the clue could be, “They are or aren’t fried.” Here you can see that ‘they’ and ‘CHIPS’ are both plural.
