The New York Times published its Mini Crossword on Thursday, July 9, 2026, and several news websites offered hints and answers to help readers solve it.
The Mini is a shorter version of the traditional NYT crossword. It has only a few clues and is designed to be finished quickly. This makes it popular with people who enjoy puzzles but do not have much time.
The Mini is one of several daily games from the Times, which also include Wordle, Connections, and Strands. On Saturdays, the puzzle has recently become harder, with more clues added across and down.
