In case you missed Sunday’s NYT Mini Crossword puzzle, you can find the answers here:
Another day, another NYT Mini Crossword to solve. It’s Monday, and to help us with our Monday blues, a puzzle or two is in order. Maybe more! But for now, let’s figure out this one!
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!

1- “Hey . . . wanna hear a secret?” — PSST
5- Spooky story? — ATTIC

Play Puzzles & Games on Forbes
9- Something to cram for — TEST
DOWN
1- Letter between Oscar and Quebec in the NATO alphabet — PAPA
2- Period of work — STINT
3- “All the world” per a famous line from Shakespeare — STAGE
4- Pointy parts of a fork — TINES
6- Indianapolis football player — COLT
A somewhat tricky Mini today, especially with 5-Across. The play on words that gets you from Scary story to Attic is clever and definitely threw me for a loop. I was think stories in a book, not a building. Where I really tripped up though was with STINT when I accidentally typed in STITT by mistake and didn’t realize it, really throwing off my game with 8-Across. I spaced the word TINES for a bit also, but ultimately got this one in 1:21.

If you also play Wordle, I write guides about that as well. You can find those and all my TV guides, reviews and much more here on my blog. Thanks for reading!
