9,213 NYT Crossword and Mini clues in our archive have a 4-letter answer. This page lists clues N to P (page 10 of 16). The clue text is shown and the answer is not. Open a clue for its length, a first-letter hint and then the answer.
Length means the number of squares. In a few puzzles one square holds several letters (a rebus), so a clue can be listed under a shorter length than its answer's spelling. Clues are sorted A to Z, and a clue that has had answers of different lengths appears under each. Looking for the answers that come up most? See the most common NYT crossword answers.
