Did today's NYT Mini Crossword leave you at a loss? Maybe one of the hints just doesn't click? There's nothing wrong with that. There are countless corners of pop culture that can be easy to miss (or willfully disregard). But that doesn't mean you have to give up on that sweet streak you have going.

Sometimes all you need is a bit of a recontextualization. You don't want the answer; you want a different hint that makes a bit more sense. Or maybe you do want the answer. Regardless, we have both right here!
