NYT Mini October 10, 2025: 4D - "___ get my drift?"

Answer: YOU

3 letters

Clue Breakdown

The clue recreates a conversational snippet. In English idioms, when someone says "You get my drift?", they are asking the listener—"you"—if the message is understood. The blank therefore becomes YOU.

Minis love colloquial fill because it is approachable and helps newer solvers gain confidence. Recognizing everyday phrases is often enough to nab the answer without crossings.

Why YOU Is Right

Fits the three-letter requirement.
Completes the everyday expression verbatim.
Crossing letters from intersecting entries (including UNPLUG and REND) reinforce the choice.

"___ kidding?" → YOU'RE.
"___ know what I mean?" → YA.
"___ listening?" → ARE YOU.

Crossword Strategy

When a clue reproduces dialogue, consider pronouns and contractions first. Common filler words like YOU, I, ME, and HEY appear frequently and often slot into short entries.
