Our review
Only got a minute of free time? That's all you need to complete a New York Times mini crossword puzzle. Challenge yourself while on the go with this set of two compact books, each with 150 mini puzzles, and write your answers with our Times-branded crossword pencils. The seven pencils, each marked with a day of the week, come in a durable canvas bag. These items normally total $42, but The New York Times Store is pleased to offer this exclusive bundle for $30. Additional discounts and coupon codes do not apply. Mini crosswords have taken the puzzle world by storm. Now available in print for the first time, Mini Crosswords Volume 2 and 3 come in a portable size for on-the-go solving. Conveniently pint-sized and easy to solve, these charming minis are too cute for any puzzler to resist. By Joel Fagliano, the digital puzzles editor at The New York Times. Each has an introduction by Will Shortz and 224 pages. Our exclusive Crossword Puzzle Pencil Set comes in a zippered 8.25" x 3.5" canvas bag, featuring a striking black-and-white crossword design. The seven pencils are each marked with a day of the week for the puzzle you’re completing. The five daily pencils are white with black lettering. The weekend pencils, for the more challenging Saturday and Sunday puzzles, are black. We've put white letter on Saturday and saved gold lettering for Sunday, the toughest puzzle of the week. Each is a standard No. 2 hexagonal pencil and 7.5” long with an eraser – just in case you need to change an answer.
