It took me 1 minute and 14 seconds to crack the codes for this Sunday NYT Mini.
That's a pretty solid run for a Sunday Mini! I nailed most Across answers straight away. I oddly struggled with MAP, while PHOTO ID had me scratching my head initially.
I wrongly assumed SPF was "ozs" due to hastily reading the clue. That held me up a bit once I moved to the Down words. Regardless, I claimed all the Down clues on my first go to secure a good time.
See you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun!
