In case you missed Friday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
Wondering what pictures might employ the “flip camera” button? Not sure what an admission of ineptitude might be? 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, February 15 (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

It took me 1:07 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
I’m very happy with that time for a Saturday crossword! I got most of the answers on my first pass of the Across clues (FIFA, GENTLE, SELFIES, INLAND and KENT), which made things much easier on the Down side. I STINK was the only one I didn’t get there, so by the time I got back to the Across clues, it was easy enough to fill in the blanks.
