In case you missed Wednesday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
Wondering what billion-dollar company’s name is an exclamation? Not sure what a party crasher might be? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with 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 answers for Friday, November 29 (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

It took me 0:31 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
It would have been a little embarrassing for me if I didn’t get YAHOO immediately since I’ve been writing for a Yahoo publication since 2018. AWARD was straightforward enough too (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony).
I missed out on RANDO (which made sense in hindsight but would never have guessed) and DINER. However, I got all of the Down clues for a fairly quick solve. HANNA, of course, is a reference to Hanna-Barbera, the animation powerhouse behind the likes of The Flintstones, Yogi Bear and The Jetsons.
