In case you missed Saturday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
Wondering what a hacienda brick material is? Not who the daughter of los abuelos, sister of los tios is? 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 Sunday, October 13 (spoilers lie ahead, of course):
NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers
Across
1 Across: Besties — PALS
5 Across: Payment option that might prompt a PIN — DEBIT
6 Across: Hacienda brick material — ADOBE
7 Across: Daughter of los abuelos, sister of los tios — MADRE
8 Across: “Look before you ___” — LEAP
Down
1 Down: What it’s harder to do on an exercise bike when you increase the resistance — PEDAL
2 Down: “Humble” home — ABODE
3 Down: Astrological sign of October — LIBRA
4 Down: Precipitous — STEEP
5 Down: Beaver’s big project — DAM
It took me 0:32 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
That’s more like it after a relatively slow solve yesterday. I missed ADOBE and MADRE on the Across words (my Spanish knowledge is very lacking), but I got all of the Down words on my first attempt. Getting the few Across words that I did definitely helped me get ABODE, LIBRA and STEEP.
