NYT Mini Crossword Answers, Hints for Monday, August 4, 2025originally appeared onParade. If you're anything like me, the day is not complete until I finish all of the free word games from the New York Times. Working on the dailyConnections,WordleandStrandsis a whole ritual for many of us. And we can't forget about the NYT's The Mini Crossword, too!
