Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Saturday, June 28
Mini Crossword In case you missed Friday's NYT Mini, you can find the answers here: 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): FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers ACROSS 1) Detachable parts of a dress form - ARMS 5) Catering container containing caffeine - TEAURN 8) Climbing structure offered in pet stores - CATTREE 9) Gets into town - ARRIVES 10) Frédéric Chopin or Ray Charles, notably - PIANIST 11) They don't hold water - SIEVES 12) __-jerk reaction - KNEE DOWN 1) With some chance of failure - ATARISK 2) Prepare for a new job, maybe - RETRAIN 3) Midday Broadway showing - MATINEE 4) Goal of a noted reality show set on an island - SURVIVE 6) Witherspoon who portrayed June Carter in "Walk the Line" - REESE 7) Lodgings for larks - NESTS 8) Souvenir from a baseball game - CAP Mini Well, you've got to always start with the easy ones, and here that was definitely going to be knee-jerk and I mean, how many other Witherspoons are there in Hollywood? Matinee was easy except for us non-fancy non-NYC people, we call midday movies that. Only one real 'multi-word' one here, At a Risk and I like to avoid those as much as possible, as figuring out one word is enough, much less a phrase. Long puzzle, but not awful. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
