Today’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Tuesday, December 31st
As we bid adieu to the old year and welcome a fresh start in 2025, the New York Times has released its final Mini Crossword for the year. And I’m here to help you crack it!
This particular puzzle proved to be a bit more challenging than yesterday’s, mainly because I’m woefully uneducated on cozy slippers (who knew there was a brand with a nut in its logo? Ah, the things we learn when stuck in deep mud – or should I say, ACORN?). Nonetheless, it’s fitting that this Mini Crossword would be themed around a Happy New Year’s countdown. What a unique way to ring in the new year!
In all seriousness, this puzzle proved to be quite engaging, and I must commend the NYT on its creativity. As always, I’ll provide you with both the clues and answers for today’s crossword.
