Spoiler ahead. This page covers the NYT Mini Crossword for Sun, Sep 27. Every answer sits behind tiles you turn yourself, a letter or a word at a time.

This is yesterday's NYT Mini Crossword from Sun, Sep 27, kept for a day. The hints come first, then the answer, so you can check the grid you played. New to it? Our NYT Mini Crossword game page covers where to play, the modes and our tips.

The Mini is a small crossword, usually five squares by five, that most players race against the clock. Its clues lean on pop culture, recent slang and quick wordplay, and one stubborn corner can double a solve that would otherwise take about a minute.

Fill whatever you know at once, across and down, and let the crossings give you the rest. A clue ending in a question mark signals a pun, and an abbreviation in the clue asks for an abbreviated answer.
