I managed to wrap up today's NYT Mini in 1:08, a snappy time for a Friday puzzle! I nailed the Across answers during my first shot, but messed up on MAP for some reason. PHOTO ID stumped me at first, but I eventually figured it out.
The Down words took me a bit longer, with updated clues helping me guess the meanings correctly. I almost thought TIP sounded like "ozs," but was glad I read the clue carefully.
See you tomorrow for more exciting NYT Mini fun!
