Completed NYT Mini crossword for Tuesday, February 18.
It took me 0:51 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
I got the first four Across answers with little difficulty, but I must have mis-pressed a key, as I accidentally filled RILEY in from the 6 box downward. That confused me a little as the wrong first letter was in place for WAY (Y instead of W).
I knew PRIMA was the answer for 1 Down, but I had never heard of Alvin AILEY. Nor was I really familiar with the term “parkway.” But hey, I got the right answers eventually, especially once 5 Down clicked.

Patrick Schwarzenegger stars as Saxon Ratliff in The White Lotus season 3.
It’s time to return to the scandalous world of The White Lotus. Season 3 of Mike White’s Emmy-winning social satire premieres tonight. This time, the anthology series will call Thailand home. As we’ve seen from the previous two seasons — which took place in Hawaii and Sicily, respectively — there’s a sinister underbelly waiting to be discovered in this beautiful vacation locale. Get ready for the class warfare to begin.
The new eight-episode installment will feature a talented ensemble cast of mostly new faces. Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Nivola, Lek Patravadi, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell and Patrick Schwarzenegger (yes, Arnold’s son) star alongside many more.
Natasha Rothwell will also appear; she’s reprising her season 1 role of massage therapist Belinda in the new episodes. Creator Mike White returns once again to write and direct all eight episodes.
Read on to learn when The White Lotus Season 3 will be available for streaming and how using a VPN can enhance your viewing experience.

The new season of Mike White’s hit drama will premiere its first episode tonight, Sunday, Feb. 16, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and be available to stream on Max. New episodes will air every Sunday after until the finale drops.
Perhaps you’re traveling abroad and want to stream The White Lotus on Max while away from home. With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to access the series from anywhere in the world.
But there are other good reasons to use a VPN for streaming. A VPN encrypts your traffic and is the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds. It’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. Plus, streaming TV can be a bit smoother with a reliable, quality VPN that’s passed our tests and security standards.
You can use a VPN to stream content legally as long as VPNs are allowed in your country and you have a valid subscription to the streaming service you’re using. The US and Canada are among the countries where VPNs are legal, but we advise against streaming or downloading content on illegal torrent sites. We recommend ExpressVPN, but you may opt for another provider from our best list, such as Surfshark or NordVPN.
Follow the VPN provider’s instructions for installation and choose a country where your title of choice will be streaming on Max. Before opening the streaming app, ensure you’re connected to your VPN using your selected region. If you want to stream The White Lotus on multiple devices, you may need to configure each to ensure you’re signed in. Go to settings and check your network connections to verify you’re logged in and connected to your VPN account. Now, you’re ready to open the service to stream.
If you encounter streaming issues, first make sure your VPN is up and running on its encrypted IP address. Then, double-check that you’ve followed installation instructions correctly and picked the right geographical area for viewing. If you still encounter connection problems, you may need to reboot your device. Close all apps and windows, restart your device and connect to your VPN first. Note that some streaming services have restrictions on VPN access.
