Forbes' Mini Crossword Answers for Wednesday, April 17th
The gods certainly had their days named after them, don't they? Let's imagine a reality where each day conforms to its namesake. Mondays would be a bummer, while Sundays would shine brightly. But how do we categorize the other days? Tuesday, named after Tyr, a god of war, might see a hike in violent crimes. Freya, a fertility goddess, seems to have Friday covered.
Enough about my musings! Let's dive into today's Mini Crossword!
The NYT Mini is an easy-to-solve, bite-sized version of the challenging NYT Crossword, accessible for free without a New York Times subscription. You can play it online, on the web, or even on the app once you've subscribed.
