ForbesToday’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Sunday, March 23rdBy Erik Kain

Another day, another NYT Mini Crossword to solve. It’s Monday, and to help us with our Monday blues, a puzzle or two is in order. Maybe more! But for now, let’s figure out this one!

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.

Spoilers ahead!

ACROSS

1- “Hey . . . wanna hear a secret?” — PSST

5- Spooky story? — ATTIC

7- Baby grand, for one — PIANO

8- Perfectly behaved child — ANGEL

9- Something to cram for — TEST

DOWN

1- Letter between Oscar and Quebec in the NATO alphabet — PAPA

2- Period of work — STINT

3- “All the world” per a famous line from Shakespeare — STAGE

4- Pointy parts of a fork — TINES

6- Indianapolis football player — COLT

A somewhat tricky Mini today, especially with 5-Across. The play on words that gets you from Scary story to Attic is clever and definitely threw me for a loop. I was think stories in a book, not a building. Where I really tripped up though was with STINT when I accidentally typed in STITT by mistake and didn’t realize it, really throwing off my game with 8-Across. I spaced the word TINES for a bit also, but ultimately got this one in 1:21.
