NYT Mini Crossword answers for Tuesday, November 10, 2026

A Tuesday Mini on the shaped 5x5 frame with its four corners cut away: it opens cute as a button with CUTE in the top row, pours PINTS of ice cream or beer across the middle row, and keeps a green-skinned OGRE waiting in the fourth row for anyone who reads down the grid instead of across it today. The Downs carry the craft today, with a worker's UNION running the full second column and the starter's SET tucked into the last one. Tap any clue to show just that one answer, then work through the rest of the grid at whatever pace suits you this morning, coffee in hand, the whole week still ahead of you and nowhere at all that you need to be.
