Over on my Wordle guide I have the weekly Wordle Wednesday puzzle if you’re interested in an extra challenge. If you’d rather just solve this Mini Crossword, let’s get right to it!
The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it’s free-to-play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or the app, though you’ll need the app to tackle the archive.
Spoilers ahead! Here’s the first letter of each word.
Across
1A. For this, you’ll be swimming with the fishes — starts with the first letter S

This one took me exactly one minute and even though a lot of the answers are a bit outside the box — ARUDE is not a word, for instance, and CTRL X is something only PC users would know — I pretty much breezed through it.
