What is the LA Times The Mini Crossword?

The LA Times Mini Crossword is a daily, bite-sized puzzle from the Los Angeles Times. Designed for quick solving, it delivers the fun of a full crossword in a compact format that takes just a few minutes to complete. The puzzle is edited by Elizabeth C. Gorski, a veteran crossword constructor and editor who has also created puzzles for The New York Times and Zynga.

Key Features

  • Daily puzzles: A new mini crossword is released every day.
  • Free to play: No subscription required—accessible directly on the LA Times website.
  • Mobile-friendly: Optimized for quick, on-the-go solving.
  • Puzzle archive: Solvers can access past minis for extra practice.

How It Compares

  • Similar in style and size to the New York Times Mini Crossword, but created separately.
  • Remains free to play, unlike the NYT Mini, which now sits behind a paywall.

Why Play?

The LA Times Mini is perfect for anyone looking for:

  • A fast daily challenge.
  • A fun brain warm-up.
  • Crossword-style gameplay that’s approachable for beginners and still satisfying for seasoned solvers.
