In case you missed Monday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
Wondering what a format for an e-signed document might be? Not sure which word can come after flower and fire? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with some hints and the answers for today’s NYT Mini crossword.
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.
To help you avoid getting stuck and having to reveal missing letters, here are the NYT Mini Crossword hints and answers for Tuesday, March 11.
Spoilers lie ahead, so remember to scroll slowly:

It took me 0:36 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
I was so, so close to completing this quickly by getting all the Across clues on the first try. I messed up on the second one by guessing “hopes” instead of GOALS. But I was able to correct those errors quickly when I got to the Down words.
I have to say that 6 Across clue was, oddly enough, awful. It’s a pretty terrible joke! Can’t say I enjoyed it. DAFFY, meanwhile, refers to Daffy Duck.
See you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun!
