About this puzzle

The NYT Midi Crossword sits squarely between the Mini and the full daily puzzle — usually a 7×7 or 9×9 grid that takes a confident solver about three to five minutes. Today's grid was constructed by Jeremy Newton and edited by Ian Livengood. The puzzle is titled “Sign of the Times”. Tap any tile to reveal a single letter, or click a clue for the full breakdown with hints, letter analysis, and cross-puzzle history.
