So that you don't get stuck and don't have to uncover missing letters, you can find them here NYT Mini Crossword Puzzle Answers for Saturday November 2nd (Of course, there are spoilers ahead):

It cost me 3:17 not finishing today's one NYT Mini.

If you look closely at the screenshot, you will see a small red mark in one of the squares. That's because I couldn't complete the crossword puzzle. I thought I was done, but the game told me I had at least one square wrong.

After spending a good minute looking for it, I couldn't see where I went wrong. So I gave up and revealed the puzzle, only to realize that I had mistakenly entered “Inca” and “EKG” instead of INCA and EKG. Pooh. That's annoying! Better luck tomorrow, I suppose.
