Need some help with today’s Mini Crossword? I enjoyed the first three rhyming clues: gummy, dummy and tummy. I also thought “gummy” would be followed by “worm,” which was not the obvious or the correct answer, so I had to rethink that one. Read on for all the answers.
The Mini Crossword is a nice break from the tougher puzzles, and it takes only a fraction of the time of the vaunted, regular New York Times Crossword puzzle.
