ForbesToday's NYT Mini Crossword Clues and Solutions for Thursday October 3rdFrom Paul Tassi

The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword puzzle. 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.

In contrast to its bigger brother, the NYT Mini Crosswords are free to play on the New York Times website or the NYT Games app. However, you will need a 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'm trying to beat the standard weekday grid in under a minute. But sometimes I can't quite figure out a clue or two and have to give away the answer.

To help you avoid this, here is the NYT Mini Crossword puzzle solutions (Of course, there are spoilers ahead):

NYT Mini Crossword Clues and Solutions

ABOVE

1) What Lanternfish Can Do Using Organs Called Photophores – GLOW

5) Channel with “Vanderpump Rules” and “Below Deck” – BRAVO

6) Consumed – EATEN

7) Really need a bath – stinks

8) Switch for twenty – TEN

DOWN

1) Storm sewer cover – GRILLE

2) “Et tu, Brute?” Language – LATIN

3) Bakery equipment – ​​OVENS

4) Statistics or Politics Nerd – WONK

5) Email Logout at Work – BEST

I feel addressed by the BEST email confirmation because I rarely do anything else. That being said, I actually didn't know that BRAVO was still a channel and still airing shows because I'm so deep into the streaming era that I don't even notice it anymore. But I know people love Vanderpump Rules. The rest is pretty simple, although WONK isn't a term you hear every day. And if you didn't think Caesar spoke Italian, you probably would have learned Latin.
