Forbes‘NYT Mini’ Clues And Answers For Saturday, February 22By Paul Tassi

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.

The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to beat the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can't quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer.

To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers

1) Sing like "Boopity-bop-dee-doo-dee-doo-bee" - SCAT

5) Hawk’s claw - TALON

7) The "U" in U.K. - UNITED

9) "Hey, that’s cheating!" - NOFAIR

10) Rapper with the songs "Hot in Herre" and "Air Force Ones" - NELLY

1) Surprise greatly - STUN

2) Officially accepted storylines - CANON

3) "Get ___!" ("Stop being so boring!") - ALIFE

4) Sum amount - TOTAL

6) Astronaut Armstrong - NEIL

8) Free of moisture - DRY

Wait I have a little car driving around my board. Is this something you get if you go incredibly fast through a puzzle? This was 38 seconds, answering only the across ones in a row to get the whole puzzle. Maybe people have gotten this before, but this is my first time. What can I say, this was a pretty easy one, I thought.
