The trick the puzzle was actually after.
For May 6, 2026, TECHi checked the solved grid against Parade's May 6 Mini Crossword answer guide. The Across list is RACES, TAP, MAFIA, USA, and RENEW; the Down list is RT, ATM, CAPER, ASIAN, and SFA.

Stuck on a streak day? Past solves keep you moving.
Catching up? Here are the most recent solutions.
| Date | Puzzle | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| Thu, May 7, 2026 | May 7 Mini | Across: ONE, PLUS, SUITE, ISNT, THEY. Down: OLINE, NUTTY, ESE, PUSH, SIT. |
| Wed, May 6, 2026 | May 6 Mini | Across: RACES, TAP, MAFIA, USA, RENEW. Down: RT, ATM, CAPER, ASIAN, SFA. |
◆ Step 03
This was not a long grid, but it punished casual filling. RACES and RENEW were the safest anchors, then CAPER clarified the middle. If your grid went sideways, the likely culprit was one of the short abbreviations rather than a themed long answer.
For May 6, 2026: Across: RACES, TAP, MAFIA, USA, RENEW. Down: RT, ATM, CAPER, ASIAN, SFA.
Many readers check the previous grid after the daily reset, so TECHi keeps yesterday on a stable URL instead of creating dated duplicates.
