NYT Mini Crossword Answers for September 25, 2026 – Down
1-Down: PEACH – Five letters. Georgia’s most famous fruit, and an adjective for something excellent. Shares its opening P with PETS across.
2-Down: EXTRA – Five letters. Meaning additional, or the type of newspaper edition rushed out for breaking news. The X in this entry is the grid’s hardest letter to place.
3-Down: TIBET – Five letters. The Himalayan autonomous region in southwest China, and one of the most-used geography answers in crossword construction.
4-Down: STATE – Five letters. To declare formally, or one of 50. Threads through PETS, EXIT, and AT BAT on its way down.

Today’s puzzle is on the accessible side for regular solvers, with AT BAT as the most sport-specific answer and TIBET the most geographically demanding. TED is the kind of short entry that trips up players who only know the name.
