Restated Headline: NYT Mini Clues and Solutions for Saturday, 14th December
If you missed last Friday's NYT Mini, no worries, I've got you covered with the solutions!
Curious about what a significant leap of trust means? Or unsure what a smooth operator might be like? I've got you covered with the answers for today's NYT Mini crossword puzzle.
The NYT Mini is the shorter, snappier version of the newspaper's classic crossword. Most days, you'll find 3-5 clues in each direction on a 5x5 grid, but sometimes it gets bigger, especially on Saturdays.
You can play the NYT Mini for free on the New York Times website or their mobile app. But to access the archives, you'll need an NYT Games subscription.
Here are the NYT Mini Crossword solutions for Saturday, December 14 (spoiler alert, of course!):

I finished the puzzle in 0:35 minutes. That's a swift time even for a Saturday puzzle, so I'm pretty pleased with that! I got off to a rocky start, not knowing the Taco Bell slogan and struggling with the jockey clue. But once I had most of the crossing letters, I wasn't stuck. It only took me a few seconds longer to figure out SKYDIVE if I had guessed it faster, but overall, I'm pleased!
