I have several hints and the answer below, and you'll be happy to know this clue is more of a word-riddle than a maths clue. 'What four quarters can equal' NYT Mini Crossword clue Aug. 19 hints and answer Hint 1: It starts with a \"Y.\" Hint 2: It contains 365 days (most of the time). Hint 3: It also contains four seasons. Hint 4: It ends in an \"R.\" The answer to the \"What four quarters can equal\" clue is \"YEAR.\" One year, which contains 12 months, can typically be divided into four quarters\u2014each with three months. While it's not the only way to describe four quarters, it does fit today. NYT Mini Crossword puzzle: All Aug. 19 clues and answers Across 1A Leaves a couple bucks on the bar counter \u2014 TIPS 5A Opera solo \u2014 ARIA 6A Package before sending \u2014 BOX UP 8A Number of Olympic gold medals won by Katie Ledecky \u2014 NINE 9A What fur quarters can equal \u2014 YEAR Down 1D Browser subwindow \u2014 TAB 2D A maintenance shop with a broken doorbell is an example of it \u2014 IRONY 3D Kind of short haircut for women \u2014 PIXIE 4D Spa room \u2014 SAUNA 7D Pay-___view \u2014 PER 'What four quarters can equal' NYT crossword clue difficulty My first thought here was, \"Oh no, not another maths clue.\" But when I re-read it, I couldn't figure out a four-letter word that meant \"one\" or equivalent. It wasn't until I solved a few of the other clues that I realized the answer. So, while it wasn't too challenging, it was confusingly tricky, and I'd give it a difficulty rating of three out of five. What to play after the NYT Mini Crossword puzzle If you're after more mini crossword puzzles, try the ones from the LA Times or Washington Post. Both publications release mini crosswords daily, so you have a few to choose from.
