Full WaPo Mini Crossword answer list for today

Every clue from today's grid next to its solution — the same answers as the board above, in one plain list you can scan without tapping.

Today's Washington Post Mini answers

Today's solution appears above, laid out clue by clue — every Across answer followed by every Down answer, exactly as the grid reads. Because a Mini is so small, one missing letter tends to block several crossing answers at once, so we list each answer separately: reveal only the one you need and keep solving the rest yourself. The grid is confirmed and refreshed daily as soon as the puzzle is published.

What is the Washington Post Mini Crossword?

The Washington Post Mini is the paper's free, quick-solve crossword — a small grid with a handful of across and down clues, designed to be finished in about a minute. Like other minis, it's built for a fast daily hit rather than a long sit-down solve, with clean, contemporary clues that lean on general knowledge and current culture. It's free to play online, which gives it a broad, casual audience — and a steady stream of “what's today's answer?” searches whenever a clever clue trips solvers up.

How the WaPo Mini compares to other mini crosswords

All the minis share the same speedy DNA, with small differences in flavour:

Tips for solving the WaPo Mini faster

• Fill the corners first. Corner squares sit on both a short across and a short down clue, so one gives you crossing letters immediately.
• Trust the crossings. In a grid this small, every letter is shared — solve a stumper's crossing word and the letter appears for free.
• Read all the clues first. With only a handful of clues, the easy ones give you enough letters to guess the hard ones.
• Go with your first instinct. Minis reward quick, direct answers rather than overthinking.
• Use the solver for one square. Our crossword solver reveals a single clue's answer from your known letters, without spoiling the rest.
