Daily New York Times Mini Crossword Puzzle Solutions and Hints for December 31st Edition
At last, the closing day of 2024 has arrived. The final Mini Crossword is here for our enjoyment. Another 365 days of puzzling await us in the new year. If you're looking to enhance your New Year's resolutions, why not consider adding Wordle, Strands, or Connections to your list? The New York Times has a new game in testing called Zorse, which is quite entertaining as well. More details are available here. It's time to tackle the last Mini of the year!
The NYT Mini is a compact, speedy, and palatable alternative to the larger and more intricate NYT Crossword, and unlike its bigger sibling, it can be played without a subscription to The New York Times. You can enjoy it on the web or via the app, but the archive requires the app for exploration.
Below, you'll find the answers to today’s Mini Crossword . . . .
Warning: Spoilers ahead!
ACROSS
1 — Device for casually filming on the dashboard — CAMERA
4 — Device for rocking out on the dashboard — RADIO
6 — Famous brand of cozy slippers with a nut in its logo — ACORNS
7 — "... two ..." — THREE
8 — Conclusion — FINISH
DOWN
1 — Memory storage in computers — CACHE
2 — To decorate — DECK
3 — Stuck deep in mud — ENTRAPPED
4 — Chinese zodiac sign — RAT
5 — "... a year!" — ONE
This Mini was a bit more challenging than yesterday's, although I attribute that more to my lack of knowledge about slippers! This one also had a New Year's countdown vibe, with a few themed clues. I managed to fill in the DOWN columns first, leaving the ACROSS portion to solve afterward! Happy New Year's to everyone! May your 2025 be prosperous, serene, and joyful!
