If you're anything like me, the day is not complete until I finish all of the free word games from the New York Times. Working on the dailyConnections,WordleandStrandsis 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., unlike some of the others that start over at midnight. So, if you're working on today's Mini on Sunday, September 28, 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! 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Here are additional clues for each of the words in today's Mini Crossword. 1 Across: Make chicken? —HINT:Ends with the letter "E" 6 Across: Stretchy glove material —HINT:Ends with the letter "X" 7 Across: Island that's the "A" of the so-called ABC Islands —HINT:Starts with the letter "A" 8 Across: Gently play, as a guitar —HINT:Ends with the letter "M"9 Across: Helpful link for a daily Spelling Bee solver —HINT:Starts with the letter "H" Related:16 Games Like Wordle To Give You Your Word Game Fix More Than Once Every 24 Hours 1 Down: What's typed instead of a question mark if you forget to press shift —HINT: Starts with the letter "S" 2 Down: Rapper Playboi ___ —HINT: Ends with the letter "I" 3 Down: Take ___ for the worse —HINT: Ends with the letter "N" 4 Down: Make a counterargument against —HINT: Starts with the letter "R" 5 Down: Midterms and finals —HINT: Ends with the letter "S" Don't go any further unless you want to knowexactlywhat the correct words are in today's Mini Crossword. 1 Across: Make chicken? —SCARE 6 Across: Stretchy glove material —LATEX 7 Across: Island that's the "A" of the so-called ABC Islands —ARUBA 8 Across: Gently play, as a guitar —STRUM9 Across: Helpful link for a daily Spelling Bee solver —HINTS 1 Down: What's typed instead of a question mark if you forget to press shift —SLASH 2 Down: Rapper Playboi ___ —CARTI 3 Down: Take ___ for the worse —ATURN 4 Down: Make a counterargument against —REBUT 5 Down: Midterms and finals —EXAMS Related: Hobby Lobby's $5 Vintage Ceramic Mug is Pure Fall Charm This story was originally reported byParadeon Sep 28, 2025, where it first appeared in theLifesection.
