‘NYT Mini’ Clues And Answers For Friday, February 28

Mini Crossword

In case you missed Thursday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:

The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper’s larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.

Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you’ll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.

The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to beat the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can’t quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer.

To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

ACROSS

1) Italian tourist city you might be “inclined” to visit – PISA
5) Pink/orange shade – CORAL
6) Green/yellow shade – OLIVE
7) Red/pink shade – ROSE
8) Silver/gray shade – ASH

DOWN

1) Many collared golf shirts – POLOS
2) From Dublin or Derry – IRISH
3) Command+S, on a Mac – SAVE
4) Pint at a public house – ALE
5) ___ Crawley, “Downton Abbey” countess – CORA

Mini

The puzzle is really testing your color blending abilities today as you must figure out a bunch of different shades that are almost certainly paint colors for various nurseries. I did not remember Cora Crawley as there are like a million countesses and duchesses on that show. Asking where Dublin is would be a gimmie. I did think Pisa had a Z in it, but besides that, I did okay.
