Looking for help with today's NYT Mini Crossword puzzle? Here are some hints and answers for the ...

[+] puzzle. In case you missed Wednesday’s NYT Mini Crossword puzzle, you can find the answers here: Thor’s Day has arrived and with it, a new NYT Mini Crossword puzzle to solve. I’m on a steady rotation of these word games lately.

My daily Wordle, of course, but also Strands, the occasional Connections and Spelling Bee and now the Mini also. I think the Spelling Bee is by far the toughest of the bunch, though Connections can vary wildly between pretty easy and pretty obscure. I mostly enjoy Wordle now just to see if I can beat the Wordle Bot.

And when it comes to the Mini, I’m just trying to get my times down. Some people are insanely fast at this thing, and I am not one of them. In any case, let’s solve today’s! Spoilers ahead, obviously.
