ForbesToday’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Tuesday, April 15thBy Erik Kain

We’ve reached the middle of the work-week. Wednesday—or Odin’s Day, if you want to get to the meat of the word—cleaves the week in twain. And each day past Sunday, the NYT Mini Crossword gets a tiny bit more challenging, culminating in the big Saturday puzzle,

The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it’s free-to-play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or the app, though you’ll need the app to tackle the archive.

Spoilers ahead!

ACROSS

1- “T-t-t-turn up the heat!” — BRR

4- Like fare at a fair, fairly often — FRIED

6- A complete unknown? — RANDO

7- A Rolling Stone? — ISSUE

8- Witch’s spell — HEX

DOWN

1- In-your-face assertive — BRASH

2- Help with the dishes — RINSE

This was a tricky Mini, though I enjoyed the Bob Dylan references. Even the shorter ones were a bit tricky. BRR? That took me a spell. Fortunately, getting a couple later words like HEX and REDUX helped me work my way backward and I finished this in just under a minute. Just by a hair!
