Love crossword puzzles but don’t always have the time (or patience) to tackle a giant one? That’s where The Mini comes in!
Designed as a bite-sized version of The New York Times’ famous crossword, The Mini is a quick and fun way to challenge your word skills daily—without taking up your whole morning. On average, most players solve it in just over a minute, making it the perfect puzzle for a short break or a daily brain boost.
But don’t let its size fool you! While The Mini is smaller and simpler, it can still be surprisingly tricky. One tough clue can mean the difference between setting a personal best or getting stuck longer than expected.
And just like with Wordle and Connections, we’ve got your back if you need a little help!
