It’s Monday and Martin Luther King Jr. Day and inauguration day all in one. Good grief! I’m a little overwhelmed, so let’s just skip the preamble and get right to today’s NYT Mini Crossword!
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.

Today’s Mini
This was actually a pretty tricky Mini Crossword but the reason my time is so bad is pizza. Me trying to eat pizza, which is messy, and fill in the crossword on my PC, without making a terrible mess. Not a great idea! I’m not good at multitasking.
Some of the words were also tough. 1-DOWN I had no idea. I’ve still never been to Yosemite. I also didn’t know that LEMUR’s can have blue eyes and that other primates can’t. Weird! I was trying to think of a star-studded group, not the term for a star-studded group. It was only thanks to knowing 1-ACROSS (thank you VCR childhood!) and 5-Down and guessing a couple others that I was able to fill in all the blanks…in 2:25.
