Completed NYT Mini Crossword for Monday, August 12
It has me 0:43 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
I missed the plant world (although I had Connections clues) and Kamala Harris clues on my first pass through the horizontal words. FAKE was the only one I didn’t get on my first pass at the Downs, so I was able to use the remaining letters to get 5 and 7 horizontal.
