Today's NYT Mini Crossword Answers For Friday, July 4
In case you missed Thursday's NYT Mini, you can find the answers here: Forbes Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Thursday, July 3 By Paul Tassi
Happy Fourth of July! You may have guessed that today's puzzle is a bit USA-centric, and that should help you along to start with here. But first…
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): NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers
ACROSS
1) Uncle ___ - SAM 4) It's full of stars - SPACE 6) It's full of stripes - ZEBRA 7) Month when the American Revolutionary War began - APRIL
8) 4th of July sales promotions, e.g. - ADS
DOWN
1) Big brand of hummus - SABRA 2) Foul-smelling - ACRID 3) Breakfast, lunch and dinner - MEALS 4) Singer who performed "All the Stars" at Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show - SZA
5) Lively energy - PEP
Mini NYT
Interesting way to do it, as all the across clues are holiday/America-based while the ones in the other direction are not. I suppose it would have been a bit too much work to do an entirely themed puzzle for the whole board. Some are easy like Uncle SAM, but you may not know the Revolutionary War started in APRIL. It wasn't July. That would have been short. Then, you need to know one America-adjacent clue about the Super Bowl halftime show and the wonderful SZA. I hope you have a great holiday!

Lea Thompson believes the first ‘Back to the Future' film is ‘a perfect screenplay'
It's been 40 years since Marty McFly hopped into that juiced up DeLorean. One of the stars of 'Back to the Future' remembers it fondly. Lea Thompson reflected on the film in which she played Lorraine, the mother of Marty, played by Michael J. Fox, in a recent interview with People. Thompson was asked which of the three movies in the franchise was her favorite. 'For me, it's 'Back to the Future: 1' because it's just a perfect screenplay. And as a director, I can appreciate the conciseness of it.' 'And the truth is that 'Back to the Future: 2' and 3 were supposed to be kind of like one movie, and then they spread it out into two,' she said. 'So, it wasn't constructed in the same way as 'Back to the Future' was. So I just think it's a perfect screenplay.' According to Thompson, now 64, 'when we made 'Back to the Future,' we didn't even think we were going to make a sequel.' 'There was no sequel deal. There was no concept of that,' Thompson said. 'I mean, that's how long ago it was.' The science fiction film was directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale. Steven Spielberg served as Executive Producer. Thompson said she also enjoys how love for the film, which first debuted in movie theaters July 3, 1985, has spanned different generations. 'It's really a joy when we look out in the audience when we're doing one of those talkbacks and half the people weren't even born when the movie came out,' she said. 'I mean, that's exceptionally cool.'
