ForbesToday’s NEW Mini Crossword clues and answers for Thursday, November 21By Eric Cain

Another day, another NEW Mini Crossword to solve! This will be my last day writing the mini crossword guide as I pass the torch every three weeks to my colleagues Kris Holt and Paul Tassi. However, I do write a daily Wordle guide if you’re ever looking for a bit of an edge with that game.

NYT Mini is a smaller, faster, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its bigger sibling, it’s free to play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or in the app, although you have to use the app to handle the archive.

Answer today’s Mini Crossword below. . . .

Spoilers ahead!

OVER

1 — Icelandic singer with 16 Grammy nominations — BJORK

6 — Batman’s Sidekick — ROBIN

7 — African mammal with striped legs — OKAPI

8 — Awkward Answers to Hear When Introducing Yourself to Someone — WEMET

9 — Competed in a 5K — RAN

DOWN

1 — Boyd part that can be wrinkled — BROW

2 — Batman’s arch nemesis — JOKER

3 – President who used Keegan-Michael Key as his “anger translator” at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner – OBAMA

4 – Turn red like a chili pepper – MATURE

5 — Make a scarf — KNIT

I wasn’t 100% sure about 1-Across, but Bjork is one of the only Icelandic singers I can think of, and seeing that 1-DOWN was obviously BROW, I was pretty sure. Batman was super easy – and ironic since I just posted my review of the penguin –and even though I had no idea about 7-Across (I don’t think I’ve heard of an OKAPI before) and didn’t have an answer for 8-Across, the rest were pretty easy and filled them in as I went. I finished in 1:09 because I made a typo spelling OBAMA OBMAA and confused myself.

How did you manage? Let me know Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.

If you also play Wordle, I write guides about it too. You can find them and all my TV guides, reviews and more here on my blog. Thanks for reading along!
