Try Sea Bay ... sound

2:12 for my fumble fingers
.

I got it after it was all filled out, but even now reading the clue still makes no sense to me

Now do you get it?

Nope


0:39 for me.

5 across is "eth," like the old-school English Bible translation words "sayeth" and "doeth."

I solved the 9/29/2023 New York Times Mini Crossword in 2:51!

Funny that one answer was so relevant to what we do every day.

8 across is what we seem to focus on with the mini.  Not an issue with Wordle.

I solved the 9/30/2023 New York Times Mini Crossword in 4:02!

This was one of the most difficult ones I can remember. Never heard of the spritz, or the app.

Cocktails? Social media? Star Wars? CRISPR technology?

What do you think I am, an f-ing millennial?

Okay, I knew the Star Wars one, but still...

I'm a f-ing millennial, and I didnt even finish it. I still go back to try, but as soon as I google something I'm done. The timer is at 17 minutes and counting.

. The timer is at 17 minutes and counting.

You gave it more than I did.  I gave up at 7.   But, I'm back at it this morning. 

3 down
1,7,8 across have me stumped. 
Now at 11:57

------Update------

Social Media I got this morning.  Duh me.  The oldest uses it.  All the time. 


Finished.   15:21

I read somewhere that the Saturday Mini is the most difficult. Love to see everybody struggling. I did too.

Exact same ones for me too.

24 minutes is long enough to spend on a puzzle. I give up.

Love your new signature.  Had to google him.  Wow!
I was in love with  Brad Ausmus.  Tigers manager a few years ago.

And I just read about Lafluer.  He's Michigan born and raised.  I might have even seen him play.  I was at SVSU games a lot.  My cousin went there and it was always a great tailgate experience with that side of the family.
