Looking for the most recent Mini Crossword answer? CNET publishes daily answers and hints for Wordle, The New York Times Mini Crossword, Connections, Connections: Sports Edition and Strands puzzles.

The Mini Crossword is a nice break from the tougher puzzles, and it takes only a fraction of the time of the vaunted regular New York Times Crossword puzzle. But sometimes the clues can get a little confusing. And today’s puzzle, the Saturday edition, is always about twice as long as a regular day, so it takes more work to solve. I did not know the answer to 1-Across, which always starts the puzzle off great. Need some help with today’s Mini Crossword? Read on for all the answers.
