If you’re looking for answers to the NYT Mini Crossword for Thursday, May 1, you’re in the right place! The Mini Crossword is a fun and quick puzzle from The New York Times that both beginners and experienced players enjoy.
Today’s puzzle has a cool twist: two clues that sound the same but have different answers! The clue “Marvel’s ‘The Avengers,’ e.g.” is used twice—once in 5-Across and once in 1-Down.
