Title: Unwine with Today’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues and Answers for Star Wars Day
As the clock strikes midnight, I’m thrilled to share with you today’s NYT Mini Crossword puzzle clues and answers. The perfect accompaniment to your lazy Sunday afternoon – or a quick break from binge-watching your favorite shows (or playing Jedi Survivor, of course!). May 4th is, after all, Star Wars Day!
Firstly, I must admit that this week’s puzzle was more challenging than usual, with some clues requiring careful thought and attention. The first few clues were relatively easy, but things got tough when we hit the midpoint mark. Fortunately, my trusty blog (link in bio) has a treasure trove of Wordle guides as well as in-depth reviews of various TV shows and movies.
As you tackle this puzzle, keep an eye out for these hints and answers:
Across:
1-Across: Wines that Napa Valley is renowned for, informally — CABS
5-Across: “Right away!” — ATONCE
8-Across: School students — PUPILS
9-Across: Make a mistake . . . or 8-Across backward — SLIPUP
10-Across: Many a new driver — TEEN
Down:
1-Down: Items of clothing that may be worn backward — CAPS
2-Down: ___ Gawande, surgeon with the #1 New York Times best seller “Being Mortal” — ATUL
3-Down: Hasbro toy with a pull handle and a twistable crank — BOPIT
4-Down: Criticize snarkily with “at” — SNIPE
6-Down: You’re reading it — CLUE
7-Down: Channel with “2” and “U” spinoffs — ESPN
A quick aside: The hardest part of today’s puzzle for me was figuring out the 5-Across, as I needed to remember that “at once” indeed means “right away.” And, honestly, I struggled to recall who Atul Gawande is – even with my entertainment blog and Wordle guides at my fingertips!
After a bit of struggle, though, I managed to complete this Mini Crossword in under 1:07 minutes. Not bad for someone like me, right? What about you, dear readers? How did your experience go? Do share your thoughts on social media (Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook), and if you have any Wordle guides or other puzzle tips, don’t hesitate to reach out!
