NYT Mini Crossword Tips
When tackling the May 6, 2025 Mini Crossword, begin with the more straightforward clues such as "Perfect" which is likely asking for a common descriptor of flawlessness. For "Everest and Kilimanjaro: Abbr.", think about what category these famous peaks belong to and what abbreviation might represent that. The pair of clues "A little horse" and "A little hoarse" showcase the Mini's love of wordplay with homophones - one is likely referring to a small equine, while the other describes a raspy voice. For the Down clues, "Hero of the Passover Seder" requires some knowledge of Jewish traditions. "Spanish small plates" refers to a popular style of dining with a variety of small dishes. "In a sneaky way" is looking for an adverb describing furtive actions. "Lessen over time" needs a verb about gradual reduction. The basketball reference "What airballs fail to touch" is asking for a key component of the game. Remember that Mini crosswords typically use more common vocabulary and straightforward cluing, so if you're considering obscure terminology, you might want to reconsider. Using crossing letters from answers you're confident about can help resolve the more challenging clues.
