Unleash Your Puzzle-Solving Skills with Today's NYT Mini Crossword!
If you missed out on Wednesday's quick and filthy NYT Mini, you can catch up with the responses here:
The NYT Mini is a brief and gritty version of the New York Times' larger, long-running crossword. Typically, there are between three to five riddles in each direction on a five by five grid. However, these mini puzzles can expand in size, particularly on Saturdays.
Unlike its longer sibling, the NYT Mini is freely accessible on the New York Times website or through the NYT Games app. Unfortunately, to access the puzzle archive, you'll need a subscription to NYT Games.
This fun, daily distraction rarely consumes more than a minute of your time, although there might be occasions when you struggle with a single or two clues, necessitating revealing the solution.
To help you bypass such dilemmas, here are the solutions for the NYT Mini Crossword clues (spoiler alert!):
NYT Mini Crossword Hints and Solutions
ACROSS
1) Square on a desk calendar, or something you might stick on the calendar - DATE
5) Social platform - MEDIA
6) Microscopic particles studied by chemists - ATOMS
7) One of the Seven Dwarfs without a beard - DOPEY
8) Over the top, in slang - EXTRA

I must admit, this was a challenging puzzle. I more often than not beat the weekday grid within a min. However, today I found two particularly tricky clues: I kept battling with SOBER instead of DETOX, which hampered me for some time, and I am familiar with only two of the Seven Dwarfs, not DOPEY. How did you fare?
