ForbesNYT Mini Crossword Today: Clues And Answers For Saturday, February 15By Kris Holt
Wondering what magnetoreception might be for many migratory birds and fish? Not sure what a basketball game with a spelled-out score is? 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.

It took me 0:29 to complete today's NYT Mini.
Not a bad time at all. I hesitated a little on WATCH but I got all of the other Across answers except for SENSE. After I completed the first three Down answers, SENSE then made… sense.
