If you're anything like me, the day is not complete until I complete all of the free word games from the New York Times. Working on the daily Connections, Wordle and Strands is a whole ritual for many of us. And we can't forget about the NYT's The Mini Crossword too!Although the NYT is known for "The Crossword," a larger puzzle for paid subscribers, The Mini has quite the fan-following as well. This particular game resets at 10 p.m. on the weekdays, unlike some of the others that start over at midnight.So, if you're working on today's Mini on Monday, May 5, 2025, and need some help (I've been there), get ready to read the clues and solutions for each line. We have them separated into hints first for both "Across" and "Down" words, followed by "Across Answers" and "Down Answers," so be careful if you want to avoid spoilers as you scroll!Related: 16 Games Like Wordle To Give You Your Word Game Fix More Than Once Every 24 Hours
