I solved the 8/23/2023 New York Times Mini Crossword in 59-seconds.
I found a decent crossword app for my phone. Six new puzzles every day, each takes me between 5-6 minutes. It's great for standing in line at the post office or anywhere else you have to wait five minutes or more.
It is ad-supported and those can be annoying, but otherwise it's free. I would gladly pay for an ad-free version, but that is apparently not an option.
It's in the Play Store for Android. Search for ITSG Crosswords. (I have no connection to the app other than having it installed on my phone.)
I don't know if there's a version in the Apple Store.
