Wondering what a stock market pessimist is? Not sure what messy people love? Don't worry, because I'm here to help you with some hints and the answers for today's NYT Mini crossword.
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.
To help you avoid getting stuck and having to reveal missing letters, here are the NYT Mini Crossword hints and answers for Sunday, March 30.

Completed NYT Mini crossword for Sunday, March 30.
It took me 1:09 to complete today's NYT Mini.
That's slightly longer than I'd like for a non-Saturday Mini, but I'm okay with the time.
The Across clues were a little messy on the first pass. I was taking too long to think about the first one (which should have been pretty easy, in hindsight), I don't know jack about college football and of 8 Across, I was trying to think of a word that people might have used to call a group of babies a long time ago. I totally misread that one.
With only having the B of what turned out to be ABS, I guessed that 1 Down was referring to PBR. Whoops! I realized that didn't make sense as soon as I had BEAMS. I was able to clear the rest of the Down words and when I got back to 1 Down, ABS made sense at that point. Fun gimmick today!
See you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun!

Judge tosses Justin Baldoni's lawsuit against Blake Lively, New York Times
A federal judge in New York dismissed Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively on Monday, a significant step in the sprawling legal saga between the two 'It Ends With Us' stars. Baldoni sued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, in January, accusing the Hollywood power couple of trying to hurt his career amid the press tour and production of 'It Ends With Us,' an adaptation of Colleen Hoover's best-selling romance novel with the same name. He also sued the New York Times, alleging that the newspaper published an article heavily relying on Lively's account against Baldoni without fact-checking.

Judge dismisses Justin Baldoni's $400 million countersuit against Blake Lively
NEW YORK — A judge dismissed Justin Baldoni's lawsuits against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and the New York Times on Monday. Baldoni and his Wayfair production company were countersuing the actors for $400 million and the New York Times for $250 million for defamation, citing an article the paper published about the production of 'It Ends With Us,' which Lively co-starred in with Baldoni and produced with Reynolds. The article details Baldoni's alleged sexual harassment and retaliation against Lively, 37, and her December lawsuit against the director. He argued the article amounted to a smear campaign and denied the allegations. The article was 'rife with inaccuracies, misrepresentations, and omissions' that relied on Lively's 'self-serving narrative,' his complaint read. The power couple's publicist, Leslie Sloane, was also named in the lawsuit. The legal back-and-forth between the two parties at one point saw Baldoni's team subpoenaing Taylor Swift only to withdraw the request for the pop star to testify. Baldoni, 41, filed a motion to have Lively's original lawsuit dismissed but a ruling has not been made. In Monday's ruling, the court found that Lively was not liable for her claims because the allegations originated in a civil rights complaint. Similarly, since the New York Times based its story on Lively's original complaint, they were also not liable. Reynolds, who called Baldoni a 'sexual predator,' was also not liable since his statement was consistent with Lively's recollection of events and he had no reason to believe she was lying. 'The Times reviewed the available evidence and reported, perhaps in a dramatized manner, what it believed to have happened,' Southern District of New York judge Lewis J. Liman wrote in his 132-page opinion. 'The Times had no obvious motive to favor Lively's version of events.' 'Even if they turn out to be unneeded, an employee can insist on protections at workplace for sexual harassment without being accused of extortion,' Liman wrote. 'If an employer accedes, it cannot later claim to be a victim of the employee's wrongful threats.' Baldoni has until June 23 to decide whether or not to amend the claims for breach of implied covenant and tortious interference with contract, according to People. 'Today's opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times,' Lively's lawyers said in a statement. 'As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the court saw right through it. We look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni, Sarowitz, Nathan, and the other Wayfarer parties who perpetrated this abusive litigation.' A trial for Lively's suit is scheduled for March. 'It Ends With Us' is an adaptation of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel of the same name and centers on intimate partner abuse, both physical and emotional. ________
