Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Monday, April 14th

ForbesToday’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Sunday, April 13thBy Erik Kain

Well it’s Monday all over again, and we’re all back to work, though I generally find my Friday-Sunday is a lot busier than the rest of the work week. For everyone out there working nine-to-five, M-F, however, it’s a return to the old chopping block. We also have a Mini Crossword to solve.

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- Uneaten part of toast, often — CRUST

6- Like stud muffins — HUNKY

7- Prepare for use, as a marker — UNCAP

8- Nick of “48 Hours” — NOLTE

9- Strike zone’s lower boundary — KNEES

DOWN

1- Alternative to a chip, in the baking aisle — CHUNK

2- Kind of sentence that keeps going and going, it should have been made into two sentences — RUNON (hahaha)

3- Cousin’s dad — UNCLE

4- Spin out on the ice, say — SKATE

5- Uses a keyboard — TYPES

Today’s trickier words were tricky on purpose. Prepare for use, as a marker didn’t sound, at first, like a marker you draw with. Likewise, “spin out on the ice” makes me think of a car spinning out on the ice, not doing spins on the ice like you would on skates. 1-Across was straightforward enough, unless you glazed over the baking aisle bit, like I did, in which case you were thinking about chips, like the tortilla chips I just ate as a snack, not chocolate chips. This one took me a bit—1:41 to be exact—just because I kept stumbling on these trickier ones, and other little gaps in my knowledge, like 48 Hours, which I had no idea had Nick N0lte in it. Hunky crust!
