The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it’s free-to-play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or the app, though you’ll need the app to tackle the archive.

The NYT Mini crossword might be a lot smaller than a normal crossword, but it isn't easy. If you're stuck with today's crossword, we've got answers for you here.

The answer to seven across in the Nov. 16 New York Times Mini Crossword is “GOLFBAG.” The clue refers to a golf bag as the literal “load” you carry around a golf “course” because it holds the clubs and other essential gear a golfer needs, making it a perfect fit for the answer.
