* The clues of an NYT Mini Crossword puzzle pose a linguistic challenge that one actually enjoys. The answers to today’s clues can be found in our NYT Mini Crossword Answers Today.
The Mini, which is what many prefer to call the NYT Mini Crossword, may look minuscule with its 5×5 grid size but the clues are such that they genuinely test a player’s intellect and vocabulary. And the game being oh so approachable, is becoming increasingly popular.
The limited number of clues that are never too complex prompt many to try solving a puzzle in just a few minutes, but at times, even the most seasoned players encounter impediments. However, you will never feel completely helpless, as every puzzle has a lifesaver icon at the top consisting of three useful tools to assist you.
Note: NYT Mini Crossword puzzles for Monday to Saturday are released at 10 p.m. EST the previous day. The Sunday puzzle is released at 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.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Arrow keys - It is with the arrow keys that you can choose a new direction within a square, move in the direction pointed by an arrow, and jump to either the first square in a word or the next clue.
Spacebar - With spacebar, you can switch between Across and Down columns.
Backspace (Delete on Macs) - It helps you remove one or more letters from a word.
Tab - It lets you move to the next clue.
Shift + Tab - With this keyboard shortcut, you can return to the previous clue.
Escape - The Escape button allows you to enter the Rebus mode and fill in multiple letters in a box.
