In case you missed Monday’s NYT Mini Crossword puzzle, you can find the answers here:
We’re smack dab in the middle of the week. Odin’s Day. A day for mischief. March is nearing its last gasp and April is nearly upon us. Let’s solve this Mini Crossword!
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- Bejeweled accessory — TIARA
2- Rice, in Spanish — ARROZ
3- What’s the rush? — BLITZ

6- Like wallflowers — SHY
I managed to snag this one in just under a minute—59 seconds!—despite a few of these confounding me. I had no knowledge of Port Neuf or where it might be, and for whatever reason I associate IRL with “In real life” not moden shorthand. Still, most of these (like bar tabs and soup broth) were easy enough.
How did you do? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
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!
