The NYT Midi Crossword is the New York Times’ mid-sized weekly puzzle — bigger than the daily Mini (5×5) but smaller than the full daily crossword. It typically runs on a 9×9 or 11×11 grid with a clever theme.
The Midi is part of the NYT Games subscription suite alongside the Crossword, Mini, Wordle, Connections, Strands, and Spelling Bee. It’s edited by Ian Livengood, with constructions by a rotating roster of veteran and emerging crossword constructors.
💡 Tips for Solving
1. Look for theme answers first.
The Midi is almost always themed. Identifying the theme early gives you a foothold on the longer answers and constrains the surrounding fill.
2. Use fill-in-the-blanks for easy starts.
Clues like “___ Vegas” or “Just ___!” usually have short, common answers that anchor crossings.
3. Mind the question marks.
A clue ending in “?” signals wordplay. Take the literal meaning, then try a pun on it.
4. Cross-check with the perpendicular direction.
If an Across answer is stuck, look at the Down clues that intersect it. Even one confirmed letter narrows the field dramatically.
