Before we get to today’s NYT Mini crossword hints, clues, and answers, here are Monday’s:

Wondering what it means to submit a CV? Not sure what pointer might be used to highlight a talking point? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with the answers for today's NYT Mini crossword.

The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.

Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you’ll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.

Here are the NYT Mini Crossword clues and answers for Tuesday, May 13:
