Mini Crossword Answers Archive
TodayHint archives every NYT Mini Crossword once it has finished being the current one anywhere on Earth, so each entry below ships in full: every printed clue, the extra nudge we wrote for it, and the answer folded a second level down. Each date opens that grid's complete write-up — the same clue-by-clue ladder as the live Mini Crossword page, built from the clues as they were printed.
A date only earns a page here once it has stopped being "the current grid" in every time zone on the planet — roughly a day and a half after its print date — so nothing here is speculation about an unpublished puzzle. Once a page exists it never changes: the clues, the grid size and the answers are exactly what shipped that day. A date missing from the list below is either still current somewhere in the world or hasn't finished processing yet.
95 grids archived so far, from Sunday, August 9, 2026 through Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Pick a date for its clues, nudges and answers.
