‘NYT Mini' Clues And Answers For Saturday, April 26
Mini Crossword
NYT
The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.
Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you'll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.
The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to beat the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can't quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer.
To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course):
ACROSS
1) Fancy party - GALA5) Five ___ (discount store chain) - BELOW6) Bottom stripe on a pride flag - PURPLE7) Bedtime outfit, informally - JAMMIES8) Task to "run" - ERRAND9) Actress Keaton of "Father of the Bride" - DIANE10) Car ride game - ISPY
DOWN
1) Country in which the automobile, aspirin and the accordion were invented - GERMANY2) Mountain-related - ALPINE3) Was audibly amused, slangily - LOLED4) Really impresses - AWES5) Unfair reputation BUMRAP6) Host of the 2024 Summer Olympics - PARIS7) "Warrior-monks who keep peace in the universe," per George Lucas - JEDI

Well, we got a few clues up my alley this time including Jedi, possibly the easiest Star Wars clue you could have gotten other than Star ___ or ____ Wars. There are only two Keatons I know in Hollywood and Michael is not an 'actress.' I didn't know what the bottom stripe was on the Pride flag but you can work it out purely through the number of letters versus various rainbow colors, and that worked just fine (without Googling).

Before airplanes were pressurized for commercial use, flyers had to wear oxygen masks at higher altitudes: This picture is from 1939 and taken while 20,000 feet in the air. During World War II, the USS Trigger got close enough to Japan on patrol to take a picture through its periscope of Mount Fuji: This is from 1943. Fascinating stuff! The Michelin Man not only used to be absolutely terrifying, but he used to run with a gang of several other musically inclined Michelin men: Chet Baker is shaking. Tourists in Egypt used to be able to climb on top of the Great Pyramid all willy-nilly: Let's be thankful there are some stricter rules about visiting the landmark. These gigantic contraptions are apparently one of the first life preservers ever made: They're made out of mattresses but something tells me they aren't comfortable. This picture, taken in 1942, shows a New York Times employee creating that day's layout of the Sports page: "Boy, this Mort Cooper guy can really slang it." This is selection of prosthetic face parts designed for World War I veterans: Here's what one of those prosthetics looked like in action: This is Australian javelin thrower Reg Spiers, best known for literally mailing himself in a big giant box from London to Australia in the 1960s: Spiers was broke and needed to figure out a way home to his family, so he did what any person would have done: he posted himself. This is the 5x3x2.5 foot box Spiers mailed himself in: The journey took over two days. Spiers stuffed himself in the box with some "tinned food, a torch, a blanket and a pillow, plus two plastic bottles - one for water, one for urine." You can read more about the whole ordeal here. This is frogman Courtney Brown towing a 55 scale model of the Titanic during the filming of the movie Raise The Titanic: The movie was, well, about raising the Titanic from the ocean floor. Interestingly enough, because the movie was made in 1980, the wreck of the ship had yet to be found. That's why "the wreck" is in one big piece here. Here's what the wreck of the model of the wreck of the Titanic looks like today: Slightly worse than the one in the Atlantic, I'd say. This is Robert Earl Hughes, the one-time world's heaviest man and his pet dog: At his heaviest, Robert weighed over 1,000 pounds. Eleven days in October had to be skipped after the Gregorian calendar was adopted in 1582: A wise person on Reddit hipped the internet to the fact that if you scroll back in your phone long enough, you can see it for yourself. Here's what gorilla's fingerprint looks like compared to a human's: Gorillas: they're just like us. This is what a whole bunch of wind turbines look like from way above: Like they're floating! This is a replica of what was apparently the world's largest polar bear, standing tall at 12 feet and weighing over 2,200 pounds: That, and I don't say this lightly, is one big bear. This is the crew of the USS Hunchback, taken in Virginia at the end of the Civil War. Unlike the army, the Union's navy was actually integrated: I think I would have also been the banjo player during the Civil War. This is what British World War I victory medal looks like: Too bad there would be another Great War for civilization less than two decades later.

NYT ‘Connections' Hints For Wednesday, June 11: Clues And Answers For Today's Game
Each day's game of NYT Connections goes live at midnight local time. Before we get to today's Connections hints and answers, here are Tuesday's: It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: it's time for another round of Connections! For a while, I considered becoming one of those people who churns credit cards to earn tons of points toward things like vacations and other experiences. Figuring out whether all of that would be worth it for my lifestyle and circumstances would require me to do some calculations, and I just don't know if I have that in me. (I do words, not numbers!) I have a good credit score and a couple of cards for different purposes already. I've used credit card points I've earned exactly one time, to pay for a few nights in a budget hotel about six years ago. In the coming years, I'm hoping to use points to cover a business class fight or two, or at least the cost of an upgrade to that status. But I don't expect to become a full-on travel hacker. Flying is such a pain anyway, and I'd prefer to do it as little as possible. Before we begin, we have a great little community on Discord, where we chat about NYT Connections, the rest of the NYT games and all kinds of other stuff. Everyone who has joined has been lovely. It's a fun hangout spot, and you're more than welcome to hang out with us. Discord is also the best way to give me any feedback about the column, especially on the rare (or not-so-rare) occasions that I mess something up. I don't look at the comments or Twitter much. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes. Today's NYT Connections hints and answers for Wednesday, June 11 are coming right up. Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT's website or Games app. You're presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part. There's only one solution for each puzzle, and you'll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them. Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay. Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you're incorrect, you'll lose a life. If you're close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you're one word away from getting it right, but you'll still need to figure out which one to swap. If you make four mistakes, it's game over. Let's make sure that doesn't happen with the help of some hints, and, if you're really struggling, today's Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it's easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats. If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the publication's Connections archive. This includes every previous game of Connections, so you can go back and play any of those that you have missed. Aside from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find our hints Google if you need them! Just click here and add the date of the game for which you need clues or the answers to the search query. Scroll slowly! Just after the hints for each of today's Connections groups, I'll reveal what the groups are without immediately telling you which words go into them. Today's 16 words are... And the hints for today's Connections groups are: Need some extra help? Be warned: we're starting to get into spoiler territory. Let's take a look at one word for each group. Today's Connections word hints are… Today's Connections groups are... Spoiler alert! Don't scroll any further down the page until you're ready to find out today's Connections answers. This is your final warning! Today's Connections answers are... Right away, PARENS seemed likely to be a purple word. I just had that feeling, y'know. It matched well with ASTERISK and NUMBER, so I figured that there was some kind of typography thing going on. I remembered that DAGGER is a type of text mark as well – it looks like this †. So I had the purples sewn up. The yellows were pretty straightforward, thanks to SHOW OFF. As I thought about the shape of a FLIGHT PATH, which has to factor in the curvature of the Earth, the greens jumped out at me. That left the blues for the win. COUNT refers to Count Chocula, while Rice Krispies trio Snap, Crackle and Pop are ELVES. The LEPRECHAUN is the mascot of Lucky Charms, of course, and you may well see a ROOSTER on boxes of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. That perfect game extends my streak to 106 wins. Here's the grid: 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 That's all there is to it for today's Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog tomorrow for hints and the solution for Thursday's game if you need them. P.S. I'm gonna offer you something a little different as a recommendation today. I have seen way, way too many video game trailers over the last week as part of an annual series of showcases that all take place around the same time. This is the one I keep thinking about more than the others. I've never seen anything quite like it. I don't particularly care much for boxing games (or boxing in general), but I am very much looking forward to playing Felt That: Boxing as soon as I can. It's a boxing game with puppets, and the trailer is designed to mimic the plot of an underdog sports movie. I really enjoyed this clip. Sure, the humor is a little puerile, but I'll forgive that for a project that immediately stood out from the dozens of other video games that were revealed in recent days: Have a great day! Stay hydrated! Be kind to yourself and others! Call someone you love! Please follow my blog for more coverage of NYT Connections and other word games, and even some video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot! Sharing this column with other people who play Connections would be appreciated too. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes.
