ForbesToday’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Friday, January 24thBy Erik Kain
Wondering what kind of mark trunks might leave? Not sure how many “things I hate about you” there are in a rom-com title? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with the answers for today’s NYT Mini crossword.
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.
Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you’ll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.
To help you avoid getting stuck and having to reveal missing letters, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers for Saturday, January 25 (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

Completed New York Times Mini crossword for Saturday, January 24
It took me 1:40 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
Aside from HICCUPS (which coincidentally I had as I was completing today’s crossword), I struggled with the Across clues until I got to the last few. I was able to get EMU, LEE and NIT quickly.
I fared much better on the Down clues, though I missed the COCONUT and SO. CAL answers on my first pass. I really feel like I should have gotten those faster. Still, that’s not a bad time at all for a Saturday Mini.
