Introduction
Need some help with today’s Mini Crossword? It’s a fun one, and not too difficult. I think 3-Down is a regionalism. We never used that term for gym class when I was growing up in Minnesota. Read on if you need help solving the puzzle today.
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.
CNET publishes daily answers and hints for Wordle, The New York Times Mini Crossword, Connections, Connections: Sports Edition and Strands puzzles.
