Need help with the latest puzzle? Here.
Two references to a hand game hide in this one. Shapes you make. Gestures. If you get it, you win.
Check CNET for the Wordle and Connections answers if you’re hunting those too. Sports edition included. Strands as well. But today, we are talking about the Mini.
Here are the answers.
Across
1A. Drug in tabs: LSD. Small squares. Bad times maybe, or maybe not. Depends on your head.
4A. How coffees and sprained ankles feel: ICED. Cold. Both physically. The ankle swells, the drink stays chilled.
6A. It covers 8A, in the puzzle and a game: PAPER.
8A. See 6A: ROCK. Paper covers rock. Simple physics? Or just tradition?
9A. Also: TOO.
Down
1D. Body part that gets “fat” after a fight: LIP. Puffy. Not healthy. Just swollen.
2D. Villain in “The Lion King”: SCAR. Mufasa’s brother. Evil. Always evil.
3D. Train station: DEPOT. Old word. Sounds industrial.
5D. Chrysler Building style, informally: DECO. Art Deco. The spire is sharp. The word is short.
Paper beats rock. Always.
That is that. Solve it? Did you get stuck on 1A? Maybe you overthought the coffee clue.
Or maybe you just hate ice.
