Are you wondering what a rolled out pastry that means “strudel” in German is? Not sure what the area between North and South Korea is called? Don't worry because I am here to help you with the answers for today's question NYT Mini Crossword puzzle.

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 Crossword puzzles can be played for free New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you need one NYT Game subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.

It cost me 2:50 to complete today's conclusion NYT Mini.

That's not a bad time for a difficult starting lineup on Saturday. On my first run through the Across words I only got ALABAMA, MOT and STAMMER. I did better on the downs, getting scores 1, 5, 6 and 7. This meant I had the first and last letter or two for each Across clue, which made things a lot easier. At some point it became clear that 12 Down was DMZ, which is good because I've never heard of ADZES.
