Wondering what scooter is seen in Roman Holiday? Not sure what Dev appears in Monkey Man? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with the answers for today’s NYT Mini crossword.
The NYTMini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper’s larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.
Unlike its larger sibling, the NYTMini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you’ll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.
To help you avoid getting stuck and having to reveal missing letters, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers for Monday, February 17 (spoilers lie ahead, of course):
NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers

6 Across: No, in pig Latin – IXNAY
7 Across: “The First ___” (phrase on Delaware license plates) – STATE

9 Across: Each and every one – ALL
NYT Mini Down Answers
1 Down: Big name in cards – VISA
2 Down: When repeated, newsie’s cry – EXTRA

5 Down: Affirmative votes – AYES

It took me 1:15 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
Not a bad time in the grand scheme of things, but I felt like I was going a bit slow.
I only got STATE and ALL on my first pass of the Across clues. I don’t know Roman Holiday, pig Latin or much about the zodiac.
I had some trouble on the Down side as well, at least until I got to PATEL (I’ve been meaning to watch Monkey Man for ages) and ALL. From there, I was able to start filling in the blanks, albeit at a more snail-like pace than I would have wanted.
Make sure to follow my blogfor more coverage of the NYT Mini and other word games, as well as video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot! Also, follow me on Bluesky! It’s fun there.
Welcome to our daily post of Clues and Answers for Monday, February 17th!

Hey, everyone! I hope you’re having an excellent weekend!
One of my very favorite things I saw (and wrote about) last week was a limited-edition wrist watch based on the classic game Asteroids. Y’know, that Atari one from the ’70s.
It looks very cool, if a little chaotic. The controllable ship from the game that pew-pews at asteroids is the second hand, while two UFOs denote the hours and minutes. Some asteroids add to the visual noise, though.
I’m not huge on video game memorabilia, but I have picked up a few pieces over the last coupe of years to brighten up my place (I utterly adore my elephant Mario plush and Sayonara Wild Hearts print). But yeah, I had to snap up this watch. I’m looking forward to being the kind of dork who wears both that and an Apple Watch at the same time.
Before we begin, I’ve set up a discussion group for Connections and this column on Discord. You can chat about each game (and other topics) with me and other folks. I’m always interested to find out how other people approach the game, so join us! It’s fun.
It’s also the best way to give me any feedback about the column, especially on the rare(!) occasions that I mess something up.
Today’s NYTConnections hints and answers for Sunday, February 2, are coming right up.
How To Play Connections
Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT website or Games app.
You’re presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part.
There’s only one solution for each puzzle, and you’ll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them.
Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay.
Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you’re incorrect, you’ll lose a life. If you’re close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still need to figure out which one to swap.
If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with the help of some hints, and, if you’re really struggling, today’s Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it’s easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats.
If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the publication’s Connections archive. This includes every previous game of Connections, so you can go back and play any of those that you have missed.
Aside from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find my hints for each grid via Google if you need them! Just click here and add the date of the game for which you need clues or the answers to the search query.

SWISS
SWALLOW
SORRY
STREET
MUNSTER
MART
BLUE
HAWK
DUCK
DOWN
POP
PARTRIDGE
GRIFFIN
GROUSE
PICKLES

What Are Today’s Connections Groups?
Need some extra help?
Be warned: we’re starting to get into spoiler territory.
Today’s Connections groups are…
Yellow group — dejected

Purple group — words after “K”
What Are Today’s Connections Answers?
Spoiler alert! Don’t scroll any further down the page until you’re ready to find out today’s Connections answers.
This is your final warning!
Today’s Connections answers are…
Yellow group — dejected (BLUE, DOWN, HANGDOG, SORRY)
Green group — birds that are verbs (DUCK, GROUSE, HAWK, SWALLOW)
Blue group — TV comedy families (GRIFFIN, MUNSTER, PARTRIDGE, PICKLES)
Purple group — words after “K” (MART, POP, STREET, SWISS)
A second perfect game in a row extends my overall streak to 20 wins. Here’s how I fared:
My first instinct was that MUNSTER, GRIFFIN and PARTRIDGE would be TV families. The only one that made sense to me with those was PICKLES, so I took a stab and hey, I was right!
They relate to Family Guy (GRIFFIN), The Munsters (MUNSTER), The Partridge Family (PARTRIDGE) and Rugrats (PICKLES). I was happy about getting that, since I haven’t ever watched two of those shows.
The four remaining birds were up next, though I didn’t clock that they were all verbs too. Fun little wrinkle there.
The yellows then jumped out at me, thanks to DOWN and HANGDOG. I submitted the blues first, but I didn’t deduce that connection first.
KMART is a department store chain that only has five physical stores left: three in the U.S. Virgin Islands, one in Guam and a smaller one in Miami. K-POP means “Korean popular music.” K STREET (which I’d never heard of) is a street known for political lobbying in Washington, D.C. as well as the name of an HBO show from Steven Soderbergh about said activity. As for K-SWISS, that’s a brand of athletic shoes.
That’s all there is to it for today’s Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog tomorrow for hints and the solution for Monday’s game if you need them.
P.S. I’m wrapping up my week of dance music recommendations with another French house track. I love the expansiveness of Justice’s sound. My favorite track of theirs is probably “DVNO,” so I’m going with that. It is, as the youths say, a banger:
Have a great day! Stay hydrated! Call someone you love!
If you’re so inclined, please do follow my blog for more coverage of Connections and other word games and even some video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot! Also, follow me on Bluesky! It’s fun there.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KATU) — Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., has called for an explanation from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent following reports that individuals linked to Elon Musk attempted to gain access to a highly sensitive Treasury Department payment system. The system, which is managed by non-political staff, handles trillions of dollars annually, including Social Security and Medicare benefits, tax credits, and payments to government contractors, some of which compete with Musk-owned companies.
“To put it bluntly, these payment systems simply cannot fail, and any politically-motivated meddling in them risks severe damage to our country and the economy,” Wyden wrote in a letter to Bessent. “I am deeply concerned that following the federal grant and loan freeze earlier this week, these officials associated with Musk may have intended to access these payment systems to illegally withhold payments to any number of programs.”
Wyden expressed further concern about Musk’s business ties to China, stating, “The press has previously reported that Musk was denied a high-level clearance to access the government’s most sensitive secrets. I am concerned that Musk’s enormous business operation in China…endangers U.S. cybersecurity and creates conflicts of interest that make his access to these systems a national security risk.”
Wyden’s letter posed several questions to the Treasury Department, including whether officials linked to Musk or DOGE have requested or been granted access to the Bureau of the Fiscal Service’s payment systems, and if so, under what legal authority and for what purpose. The senator also inquired about any vetting processes conducted by the Treasury Department regarding potential conflicts of interest due to Musk’s business operations in China.
Senator Ron Wyden, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has demanded answers from Tesla CEO Elon Musk regarding reports that Tesla personnel were seeking access to the U.S. Treasury Department’s system for processing tax credits.
Wyden expressed concerns over potential misuse of taxpayer funds and called for transparency in the matter. He requested a detailed explanation from Musk on the reasons for Tesla employees seeking access to the Treasury system and how the company intended to use the information obtained.
The senator emphasized the need for oversight and accountability in ensuring that federal resources are not being exploited for private gain. He warned against any attempts to manipulate the system for personal or corporate benefit.
Wyden’s inquiry comes amidst ongoing scrutiny of Musk and Tesla’s financial dealings, including allegations of tax evasion and other improprieties. The senator has vowed to hold those responsible accountable and ensure that taxpayer dollars are used responsibly and ethically.
