**NEW YORK** – Today’s New York Times Mini Crossword proved a more manageable challenge than Saturday’s surprisingly difficult puzzle, according to a popular puzzle solver’s blog. The blog’s author noted the puzzle’s theme centered around nicknames and slang, featuring clues like “Company nicknamed ‘Big Blue'” (IBM) and “Company nicknamed ‘Big Brown'” (UPS). Other clues highlighted slang terms for “house” and a less familiar slang term for “pants” which the author found unusual.
While the author found today’s puzzle relatively easy, completing it in 1 minute and 22 seconds, they did note some initial difficulty before filling in the blanks. The blog provides solutions to today’s puzzle and also offers assistance for those struggling with the NYT Mini and Wordle puzzles.
