Title: NYT Mini Crossword Puzzle Solutions for January 24th, 2023
Hey there, puzzlers! 🎉 If you missed out on yesterday's thrilling NYT Mini Crossword, don't fret! Here's your chance to catch up:
It's not often I get to take a break from crafting these mini-puzzle guides, but hello again all you brainiacs! I'll be back in the thick of it mid-February. I hope I've got the Valentine's Day mini puzzle lined up, but who knows, my math might need a little refresher. Cheers to another week of challenges!
The NYT Mini is the cream of the crop, a more manageable, speedy and engaging alternative to its big brother, the larger and more demanding NYT Crossword. And the best part? It's completely free to play, without the need for a New York Times subscription. You can enjoy this mini marvel on the website or via the app, but do note that the archives require the latter.
Let's dive into the answers for today's challenge. But remember, readers, here be spoilers!

- A bossy character from the Mario games — BOSS
- Used for precise measurements — RULER
- The video game giant with Go-inspired name — ATARI

DOWN
