But if you don't have that much time, the Mini Crossword is an entertaining substitute. The Mini Crossword is much easier than the old-school NYT Crossword, and you probably can complete it in a couple of minutes. But if you're stuck, we've got the answers.

The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.

“Rarin’ to go” isn’t a super common phrase, which means there’s a decent chance you’ve never heard of it and had no idea what it meant before today’s NYT Mini Crossword puzzle. The answer is fairly easy to get if you’re familiar with this clue but quite tough if you aren’t.
