NYT Mini Crossword Tips
When solving the May 2, 2025 Mini Crossword, start with the clues that seem most straightforward to you. For "Do some legwork?", note the question mark which often indicates wordplay or a pun - think about literal meanings of legs and work. For "Deep, narrow valley", consider common geographical terms that describe such formations. "Worn and shabby" is looking for a 5-letter adjective that describes something old and worn out. For "Word below 'To' on a gift card", think about the standard format of gift cards and what word typically appears below "To". "$2.90, for a N.Y.C. subway ride" is asking for what this monetary amount represents in the context of public transportation. For the Down clues, the first one refers to a famous Beatles album, with a blank before "Pepper's". "Fancy word for 'beverage'" is looking for a more elegant synonym. The marathon prefix clue requires knowledge of running terminology. "Line memorizer" likely refers to someone who needs to learn lines for a performance. And for "Herb often paired with rosemary", think about common herb pairings in cooking. 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.
