‘NYT Mini' Clues And Answers For Tuesday, July 22
Looking for the answers to Monday's NYT Mini? Check them out here:
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):

Fairly standard structure on the puzzle today, the good old mix of 4s and 5s. These are never the most difficult and that's true today with this puzzle. I knew the 'Kylo Ren' answer right away, but that may have not been true of others. I can see people guessing 'Kyle," which is funny to me. But all things being equal, I think you've got a pretty good shot at getting through this puzzle quickly today.

Decoder Ring
Credit - Pop Culture Since 2018, Slate critic Willa Paskin has explored bizarre and delightful cultural phenomena from 'Baby Shark' to Chuck E. Cheese to try to understand what makes people obsessed with arbitrary touchstones. Some of the episodes are bona fide time capsules: A particularly compelling entry discusses Gen X's disdain for "selling out" as manifested in movies like Reality Bites and novelist Jonathan Franzen's refusal to appear on Oprah—a concept that has been totally lost on Gen Z, many of whom aspire to become influencers shilling for companies in exchange for free products. Through conversations with experts, fans, and fellow journalists, Paskin manages to transform a topic that might spark mild interest into one of utter obsession. She lends a sympathetic ear to fanboys and fangirls to understand how the strangest subcultures can elicit an emotional attachment and radically transform the cultural zeitgeist.

Planet Money
Credit - Born out of a This American Life episode titled "The Giant Pool Of Money," NPR's Planet Money was created by Alex Blumberg and Adam Davidson and, with its rotating roster of hosts, has been artfully explaining newsy economic events since the unhappy financial year of 2008. Its premise might sound like a giant bummer (the economy has arguably only grown more fraught and inconsistent since the Great Recession), but Planet Money's strength lies in humanizing and unraveling seemingly complex subjects like tariffs, health care, trade wars, and memecoins. One iconic episode from 2021 delves into the complicated economics of copyright law and intellectual property with the Planet Money team working to 'buy a superhero.' Another worthwhile listen from 2015 featured an interview with a London accountant who went down for insider trading. Regardless of the subject, Planet Money stays accessible and consistent in helping those of us unschooled in money matters better understand the "so what?" behind financial headlines.

There's Nothing Happy About This Meal: Wendy's and Netflix's Wednesday Cook Up a "Meal of Misfortune"
Launching in restaurants nationwide on August 4, Wendy's exclusive collaboration with Netflix's hit show, Wednesday, includes new "Raven's Blood" Frosty and four mystery "Dips of Dread" sauces DUBLIN, Ohio, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- What happens when two iconic pig-tailed provocateurs join forces in the kitchen? They create a meal that is pure punishment in a bag: introducing the Wendy's® x Wednesday™ Meal of Misfortune. Designed by Wednesday Addams, the other pig-tailed outcast herself, the limited-time Meal of Misfortune is centered around the "Dips of Dread," four inferno-inspired mystery sauces, along with "Rest in 10-Piece" Nuggets, small "Cursed & Crispy" Fries and a small "Raven's Blood" Frosty®, all served in custom packaging only Wednesday could have devised*. Fans can grab their very own Meal of Misfortune beginning Monday, Aug. 4 across the U.S. in restaurants or via the Wendy's app in the U.S., just in time for the Wednesday Season 2 Part 1 premiere on Netflix on Wednesday, Aug. 6. In Canada, fans can get the meal in restaurants or via the Wendy's app starting Monday, Aug. 11. The meal will also be available in Puerto Rico, Bahamas, and Guam. Speaking of misfortune... no one will escape the Dips of Dread unscathed. With two mystery dipping sauces in each meal, only fate will decide which of the four dips – You Can't Hyde, This Will Sting, Grave Mistake or Nowhere to Woe – accompany each order. Don't bother asking which sauce you'll get – you must surrender to your destiny. Those brave enough to try them all must endure multiple visits. Wayward souls can dip into the Raven's Blood Frosty, complete with a "Spoon of Gloom"** and Wednesday-themed Frosty cups, perfect for seeing that delicious dark cherry swirl. "Wendy's and Wednesday are both cultural icons famous for challenging convention with wit and a bit of sass," said Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer, The Wendy's Company. "This isn't a typical collaboration, because not just any brand could scheme up a Meal of Misfortune with Wednesday Addams. But for a brand that's proudly customer-obsessed and unapologetically bold, it was a match made in dark, dry-witted heaven." In addition to the Meal of Misfortune, U.S. fans have a chance to win $10,000 by helping Wendy dodge the perils of normalcy with an interactive game experience, "Escape from Wednesday's Woe." This gravity-defying adventure features treacherous traps, delicious Wendy's x Wednesday treats and exclusive rewards and is available only in the U.S. Wendy's app.*** "Normally I'd be against this kind of capitalistic corporate synergy," said Wednesday Addams, Nevermore Academy student. "But when the fast-food-slinging pigtailed provocateur said I could do whatever I wanted to her customers, I couldn't resist." Those hungry for punishment can get their hands on the meal beginning Monday, Aug. 4. Let the misfortune begin!
