While solving the NYT Mini Crossword, the answer to the “Makes a run for it” clue came to me naturally because there aren’t a lot of words that you’d use to describe a person who is escaping someone. Flee is an extremely common word, and it is used in regular conversations, so it shouldn’t be hard for anyone to guess.

The answer to three down in the Nov. 5 New York Times Mini Crossword is “ACTUP.” Act up is commonly used to describe someone behaving poorly or causing trouble. It’s often used when someone is being disruptive, which fits the idea of misbehaving as per the clue.

Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini 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.
