Daily Mini Crossword Solutions from The New York Times for August 14th
New Daily Game "Crossclimb By LinkedIn" Introduced
The New York Times has expanded its collection of games with the introduction of a new trivia ladder game called "Crossclimb By LinkedIn". This game, unlike the traditional NYT Mini Crossword, requires access to LinkedIn to play[3][4].
"Crossclimb By LinkedIn" presents a series of questions on various topics, with each correct answer propelling the player up a ladder. The game's clues range from identifying core groups like "CADRE" to recognising symbols from popular advertising campaigns such as "COWS" holding 'Eat Mor Chikin' signs[5][6].
However, unlike the solutions to the NYT Mini Crossword, the solutions to "Crossclimb By LinkedIn" are not provided on the New York Times website. Instead, the answer to a clue like "Vegetable combined with celery and carrot to form 'mirepoix'" is "ONION"[7].
While the NYT Mini Crossword remains a free daily distraction, typically taking less than a minute to complete, the availability of "Crossclimb By LinkedIn" is not clear[8]. The game is not a daily offering, and its frequency is yet to be determined.
On the other hand, the NYT Mini Crossword, which is usually a five by five grid with between three and five clues in each direction, continues to be a free daily puzzle on the New York Times website or NYT Games app[9][10]. The solutions to the NYT Mini Crossword can be found on the same platforms.
The NYT Mini Crossword also offers additional games such as "Unscramble The Anagram", where you unscramble a given phrase, and "Pinpoint By LinkedIn", where you guess the category[11]. The NYT Mini Crossword is a fun and engaging way to start your day, providing a quick mental workout.
For those interested in accessing the archives of the NYT Mini Crossword, you generally need an NYT Games subscription. The archives of past puzzles can be found on the NYT website or through the NYT Crossword app, available on various devices[12].

The new game "Crossclimb By LinkedIn" introduces mini answers, hints, and clues that differ from the traditional NYT Mini Crossword, as it is related to movies-and-tv and entertainment. Unlike the solutions to the NYT Mini Crossword, the solutions to "Crossclimb By Linkedin" are not provided on the New York Times website, and it's not a daily offering like the NYT Mini Crossword.
