I solved today’s NYT Mini Crossword while listening to The Beatles, which turned out to be a fitting soundtrack when I got to 7-Across and 8-Across. Those two paired clues involve London, a city that meant so much to their careers. (Also, if you ever get a chance to go to The Beatles’ hometown of Liverpool, do it — it’s wonderful to see the place the band came from.)  Speaking of the Fab Four, do you need some “Help!” with today’s Mini Crossword? Read on. And if you could use some hints and guidance for daily solving, check out our Mini Crossword tips.

The Mini Crossword is just one of many games in the Times’ games collection. If you’re looking for today’s Wordle, Connections, Connections: Sports Edition and Strands answers, you can visit CNET’s NYT puzzle hints page.
