Sorry!)It took me 0:58 to complete today's NYT Mini.I thought I might have had the elusive perfect game today by getting all of the Across answers correct on my first pass but I stumbled after the first three. Ive watched Hamilton, but couldnt recall the characters name. And then EDDY didnt click at all.Thank goodness for the Down answers. REF was already complete thats an awful heckle in the clue and I would be mad at anyone who yelled it in real life. ILL BE didnt come to me, but I got the other three answers with no problem.Once I was back on the Across side, I was able to complete BURR, and then EDDY once ILL BE became clear.See you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun!Make sure to follow my blog for more coverage of the NYT Mini and other word games, as well as video game news, insights and analysis.
