Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Monday, June 30
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.
The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to beat the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can't quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer.
To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

Not that bad of a puzzle today if you ask me. Starting with Ref was pretty easy and I mean, what other flavor is a purple skittle going to be? Plum? The blank baby clue could have been literally anything, but nepo baby is such a common thing now that I picked that up after one letter. Then, it was Final Jeopardy. No literally, that was the last clue I did. Not great.

Brad Pitt Reveals What It Was Like To Attend AA Meeting After Angelina Jolie Divorce
starred in the latest segment of Dax Shepard's 'Armchair Expert' podcast, opening up about his experience with AA meetings. Pitt discussed his journey with sobriety and finding a community in Alcoholics Anonymous. The actor revealed he started the meetings after his divorce from Angelina Jolie, speaking candidly about his experience on the podcast. Brad Pitt needed a reset after his high-profile divorce from Angelina Jolie, and the AA meetings provided him solace. Talking to Shepard on the podcast, the Academy Award winner shared, 'I was pretty much on my back.' He added that he 'was trying anything' that anyone threw at him, remembering it as a particularly 'difficult time.' Pitt admitted he 'needed rebooting.' The actor then spoke candidly about his experience with the AA meetings. He reflected on how the sittings became special for him. Pitt recalled, 'It was when I first was getting sober and I just thought there were just incredible men sharing, you know, their experiences, their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches, and a lot of humor with it.' The actor confessed how growing up in the Ozarks got him used to an atmosphere where 'everything's great.' Hence, witnessing men be vulnerable and open about their feelings was a meaningful experience for Pitt. He recalled it being a 'really special experience' for him. The actor also noted how the vulnerability and openness during the AA meetings were 'contagious.' Pitt described the inspiration he drew from men being honest about their struggles. He recalled the feeling of owing honesty to men who shared 'so honestly and open' about their 'struggles' and 'defects.' The meetings did not just acknowledge failures but also celebrated little successes. The space was filled with 30 or more men, and it could not help but about the humility and camaraderie in the room. For a moment, it could let go of his celebrity status and just be another person in recovery. Brad Pitt called it 'incredible' to watch men share their struggles openly in the AA meetings, offering insight into the value of an honest community. The post Brad Pitt Reveals What It Was Like To Attend AA Meeting After Angelina Jolie Divorce appeared first on Reality Tea.

"I really don't pay much attention to anyone, what they think besides my coaches, my parents and some close friends that will tell me the truth. But I'm not worried about what other people think.
