NYT Mini Crossword Tips
When solving the May 1, 2025 Mini Crossword, start with the more straightforward clues. For "Question that looks like today's date," think about how May 1 might be represented as a question (perhaps "May I?"). For Marvel's "The Avengers," consider what type of entertainment or media this represents. The clue "Bring to mind" is asking for a verb that means to recall or remember something. For "Like notebook paper," think about the common characteristics of notebook paper that would be described by an adjective. The millipede clue is specific but likely refers to a feature that millipedes are known for having in abundance. For the Down clues, note that 1-Down is the same as 5-Across, so the answers would be the same type of thing. "Surrounded by" is looking for a preposition or short phrase indicating encirclement. "That is not good!" suggests an exclamation of concern or alarm. "Like some coffee orders" may refer to a common adjective used to describe certain types of coffee. Finally, "Where to find ribosomes and mitochondria" asks for a biological term for where these cellular components are located. Remember that Mini crosswords typically use more common words and phrases, so if you're considering obscure answers, you might want to reconsider your approach. Look for words that fit with crossing answers and make logical sense in the context of the clue.
