In case you missed Wednesday’s NYT Mini, you can find the answers here:
Wondering what a hard impact sound might be? Not sure which Mike played Austin Powers? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with the answers for today’s NYT Mini crossword.
The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper’s larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.
Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you’ll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.
To help you avoid getting stuck and having to reveal missing letters, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers for Thursday, February 20 (spoilers lie ahead, of course):

It took me 0:34 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
Yeah, I’m okay with that time. It’s all right!
I didn’t get BAM or OH BABY because, really, who would without additional context? DOUBLE and DECKER were easy enough though. I like how they formed a “double decker” of words. I got ADS on the Across clues as well.
After that, filling in the Down answers was easy. I hesitated for a moment on a couple of them. Still, a sub-40 time is generally pretty darn decent.
