ForbesToday’s NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Sunday, March 2ndBy Erik Kain
Monday has returned—sort of, since it’s officially still Sunday but we have the Monday Mini Crossword already. It’s the first Monday of the month (almost) and March is spread out before us like an unplowed field. Only there’s still no snow, nothing to plow, really, and winter is almost over. Wildfires have broken out in the Carolinas. As lovely as the weather is, I’m praying for snow. Or even some rain. Moisture of some kind. In any case, we have a crossword to solve so let’s solve it!
The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it’s free-to-play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or the app, though you’ll need the app to tackle the archive.
Spoilers ahead!
