You can always expect quirky clues from the NYT Mini Crossword, like the “S, M and L” clue from the May 27, 2025 edition. It’s a straightforward one based on abbreviations. You don’t need to spell out what each letter means individually, just what they all relate to. If you regularly buy clothes and often find yourself reaching for something roomier or a little more snug, you already know where this clue is pointing.
S M and L NYT Mini Answer
SIZES is the answer to the “S M and L” clue.
“S,” “M,” and “L” stand for “small,” “medium,” and “large”, which are the most common clothing sizes out there. The clue leaves out “XL” which might annoy those of us who live in hoodies two sizes up. You can find these sizes printed on tags, usually on the back of shirts, pants, and even underwear, which helps you pick what actually fits you.
