Start with the edges
It will be a smart move if you start by filling in the columns that lie at the edges of your puzzle. This ploy could give you a confident start and allow you to slowly gain momentum. It may not work out all the time but it’s one of the ways of starting a mini crossword puzzle.
Think beyond the obvious
NYT Minis aren’t that tricky. So, many a time, the answer that seems obvious will probably be the right one. However, at times, a clue may require you to think beyond the obvious and the answer could be rather funny and leave you amused. For instance, a clue could ask you to name the word that is spelled incorrectly in every dictionary. You may wonder what the word is when the right answer is actually incorrectly.
