      Do you enjoy crossword puzzles but lack the time to solve a full-sized one in your daily newspaper? That’s where The Mini comes in!

      A compact version of the well-known New York Times crossword, The Mini offers a quick and easy way to challenge your crossword skills daily, requiring much less time to complete (the average puzzle takes players a little over a minute to finish). Although The Mini is smaller and simpler than a typical crossword, it can still present its own challenges. Getting stuck on a single clue could mean the difference between achieving a personal best completion time and having an embarrassing solving attempt.

      Just like our Wordle hints and Connections hints, we’re available to assist you with The Mini if you need some help today.

      Here are the answers for today’s NYT Mini crossword.

      If you enjoy Wordle and Connections, Puzzmo might become your next daily addiction

      If you’ve incorporated puzzle games like Wordle and Connections into your routine over the past year, you may have another daily addiction on the horizon. Puzzmo is a new platform that turns the concept of a newspaper puzzle page into a responsive web page accessible across devices. Players can sign up for the free platform today, which also offers a $40 annual subscription option that unlocks additional features, including experimental games and leaderboards.

      This ambitious new venture is a collaboration between Orta Therox and Zach Gage, a game designer known for popular mobile titles like Knotwords and Good Sudoku. His latest project has been in development for several years, functioning as a comprehensive hub for Gage’s puzzle collection, with the aim of competing with popular sites like The New York Times.

      Move over, Wordle: The New York Times has launched a new puzzle game

      The New York Times has revealed its next game addition following the success of Wordle, and this one focuses on math. Digits challenges players to add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers. You can currently play its beta version for free online.

      In Digits, players are tasked with reaching a target number. They are provided with six numbers and can combine them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to get as close to the target as possible. Not all numbers need to be used, which means it will test your math skills as you create the right equations to approach the target number.

      Players earn a five-star rating for matching the target number exactly, a three-star rating if they come within 10 of the target, and a one-star rating if they’re within 25 of the target number. At present, players can also access five different puzzles with progressively larger numbers. I solved today’s puzzle and found it to be an enjoyable numerical game that should attract curious minds who appreciate puzzle games like Threes or other New York Times titles such as Wordle and Spelling Bee.

      In an article announcing Digits and explaining The New York Times Games team's development process, The Times noted that the team will utilize this free beta to resolve bugs and determine if it’s worth advancing to a more active development phase where "the game is coded and the designs are finalized." Therefore, enjoy Digits while it’s available, as The New York Times may abandon the project if the response isn't satisfactory.

      Digits' beta is currently available for free on The New York Times Games' website.

      Wordle’s remarkable year: New York Times reviews the phenomenon’s significant 2022

      If you logged onto Twitter exactly a year ago, you might remember when your feed began filling with gray, yellow, and green boxes. Although Wordle launched in 2021 and gained widespread popularity in December of that year, it became an unmissable cultural phenomenon in early 2022, almost impossible to avoid outside of a muted words list. It is a rare success story in gaming, one that could attract a broad audience due to its elegant simplicity.

      Wordle’s surge in popularity matched the rapid growth of its user base. In late January 2022, the New York Times announced it had acquired the puzzle game from creator Josh Wardle in an undisclosed, low-seven-figure deal—a surprising
