Today's NYT Mini Crossword: Hints, Clues, and Answers for March 14th
The NYT Mini is a short-form edition of the larger NYT Crossword, offering average between 3 to 5 clues in each direction on a 5x5 grid. But it's not uncommon for the puzzles to get larger, especially on Saturdays.
Unlike its larger counterpart, the NYT Mini is absolutely free to play on the New York Times website or the NYT Games app. However, you'll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archive.
The NYT Mini is a great daily brain teaser, typically taking minimal time to complete. I aim to beat the weekday grid in under a minute. But even I've struggled to crack a couple of clues on occasion, necessitating a peek at the answer.
To help you dodge that embarrassing situation, here are the answers to the NYT Mini Crossword (spoiler alert!):
NYT Mini Crossword Answers for March 16th

1) Common hamburger meat - BEEF
5) Unit in photography or what a picture fits in - FRAME
6) Who pens a letter - WRITES
7) What you might find in a restaurant - WAITER
8) Notable short story author who wrote "The Gift of the Magi" - OHENRY
9) "Time is... " - MONEY
10) Model in an anatomy class - BODY

I must admit; the only one that stumped me today was emery, which I've learned is an abrasive material used on nail files. The rest seemed straightforward. There were a couple of odd picks for songs, but who am I to argue? Maybe they thought "Womanizer" was too obvious! I prefer "Toxic" myself.
