Love crossword puzzles but don’t have the time to commit to solving a full one in your newspaper? That’s where The Mini comes in! This bite-sized version of the classic New York Times crossword is perfect for when you’re short on time but still want to give your brain a quick workout. Most players finish The Mini in just over a minute, making it a great way to squeeze in some puzzle-solving fun during a break.

One tricky clue can easily make the difference between your best completion time and a frustrating experience.
