Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Monday, June 9th
Jun 09, 2025 am 10:02 AMIt may not be Monday just yet, but that won’t stop the New York Times from publishing their Monday crossword puzzles. While most Mini Crosswords and the regular Crossword are published the evening prior, Sunday and Monday puzzles go live in the afternoon. Today’s is a full square grid with no black spaces. Let’s fill it in!
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! Read on for all of today’s Mini Crossword answers.
Across
1A. Flower that sounds like a parental nickname — POPPY
6A. Savvy — AWARE
7A. Birthplace of Buddhism — INDIA
8A. Stretches outside of a party? — LIMOS
9A. Button next to "Select" on old Nintendo controllers — START
Down
1D. Beach buckets — PAILS
2D. Take responsibility for something — OWN
3D. Lakshmi of "Top Chef" — PADMA
4D. Previous — PRIOR
5D. Ingredient that makes bread rise — YEAST
Here are all the words on the grid:
I’m not sure I like the clue “Savvy” for AWARE but other than that, this was a reasonably straightforward crossword. I don’t know “Top Chef” so I had no idea Lakshmi’s first name was PADMA but I filled that in along with 6-Across to wrap things up. A lot of the other stuff I knew — START on a Nintendo, INDIA as the birthplace of Buddhism, YEAST makes bread rise, etc. — but it took me a minute to come up with POPPY and LIMOS, and OWNIT was one I basically had to fill in with other words. This took me 1:33.
How did you do? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
If you also play Wordle, I write guides about that as well. You can find those and all my TV guides, reviews and much more here on my blog. Thanks for reading!
