Need answers for the NYT Mini today. You came to the right place. Or did you come to cheat. Probably both.
Today’s puzzle isn’t exactly brain-breaking. It’s straightforward. Breezy even. If you get stuck though, we have hints and the full key for Wordle too. Or Connections. And Strands. Why not solve everything in one go?
Here is what we are looking at for May 10.
Across the Board
1A Sea creatures that sidle
CRABS
They move sideways. Obviously.
6A Edison made this phone greeting popular
HELLO
Edison wanted “hello”. Alexander Graham Bell? He was team “Ahoy!”. The battle for the best pick-up line, 1876 style.
7A The attic’s opposite number
ATTIC
If the basement is down low. The attic is up high. Geometry for the tired.
8A What people call a hot dog (informally)
FRANK
Short for frankfurter. Just Frank now. It’s casual. Like wearing jeans on a date.
9A A chess move attacking two pieces
FORKS
One pawn. Two targets. Efficient. Ruthless, maybe. But definitely efficient.
Down the Page
1D Wheat husk
CHAFF
The worthless bit. You separate this from the grain. It gets blown away.
2D Fashion from the past
RETRO
Wearing flannel again. Did anyone really like this stuff before. Maybe not. But we love it now.
3D Where the marriage happens
ALTAR
Stand there. Say “I do”. Sign the book. Simple ceremony site.
4D You lose if you do this
BLINK
Staring contest rules apply here. Do not close your eyes. No blinking allowed. Or you lose.
