So, if you're working on today's Mini on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, and need some help (I've been there), get ready to read the clues and solutions for each line. We have them separated into hints first for both "Across" and "Down" words, followed by "Across Answers" and "Down Answers," so be careful if you want to avoid spoilers as you scroll!

The NYT Mini crossword has a couple of potentially tricky clues today, but some hints can still make it easy to solve without spending too much time.
