Mini is a bite-sized version of New York Times‘ revered daily crossword. While the crossword is a longer experience that requires both knowledge and patience to complete, the Mini is a completely different vibe.

With only a handful of clues to answer, the daily puzzle acts as a speed run test for many who play it.

So when a difficult track disrupts a player’s flow, it can be frustrating! If you find yourself overwhelmed by playing The Mini – just like with Wordle and Connections – we’ve got you covered.
