The questions from today’s “December 20, 2025” on NYT Mini Crossword are a little bit brain teaser. Many people are looking for an answer to it. Here we are sharing answers for clues.
Clue: Adams’s successor as New York City mayor
Answer: MAMDANI
Explanation of clue:
The clue “Adams’s successor as New York City mayor” might be misleading if you’re thinking strictly in terms of New York City’s mayoral history. Eric Adams succeeded Bill de Blasio as the mayor of New York City, taking office on January 1, 2022. However, the crossword clue may be playing with words or referring to a hypothetical or fictional scenario, as the name “Mamdani” does not correspond to any known successor to Eric Adams in reality as of my last update in October 2023.
