The Mini is a bite-sized version of The New York Times' revered daily crossword. While the crossword is a lengthier experience that requires both knowledge and patience to complete, The Mini is an entirely different vibe.

Compact, challenging, and intellectually rewarding, the NYT mini Crossword today delivered its signature dose of fun. Whether solved on the go or over morning coffee, it continues to be a cultural staple for puzzle lovers of all ages.

The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.
