Today’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Sunday, November 10

In case you missed Satturday’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):

A very interesting puzzle format today, a full 5x5 grid with no blocked off spaces at all. More of a word search than a crossword puzzle you might say. Despite the odd format I do not think it was terribly difficult, though even all the way through the end I never knew what a TRESS was. What can I say, I do not have long locks of hair.
