**NEW YORK** – The New York Times Mini Crossword, a popular daily puzzle available for free online, presented a unique challenge to solvers on Wednesday. While some clues, like “Prompt someone to say ‘Why don’t you take a picture – it’ll last longer!'” (STARE), proved straightforward, others focusing on winter produce left even experienced players scratching their heads.
The puzzle, a smaller, faster-paced version of the main NYT crossword, featured several clues revolving around the theme of winter foods. This included homophones for a winter vegetable (BEAT/CARROT) and fruit (PARE/PEAR), leading one solver to confess uncertainty about the precise definition of “winter food.”
Other clues included “Crunch muscles, informally” (ABS), “Brings in at harvest time” (REAPS), and “Warm, hearty winter meal” (STEW). The full solutions were revealed online, offering a helpful resource for those who struggled with the wordplay. While the Mini Crossword is generally a quick solve, Wednesday’s puzzle proved a slightly more challenging than usual.
