The questions from today’s “October 12, 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: One of two in a standard deck
Answer: JOKER
Explanation of clue:
In a standard deck of playing cards, a “JOKER” is one of two cards that are distinct from the traditional four suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. Typically, a standard 52-card deck includes two jokers. These cards are often illustrated with a jester or clown and are used in various card games, either as wild cards or for special purposes that vary by game. The inclusion of jokers adds versatility and excitement to many card games, allowing them to serve as a wildcard that can substitute for other cards, or as a unique card with its own rules, depending on the game being played. Jokers do not belong to any suit and are not considered part of the traditional ranks from ace to king, making them unique elements of a standard card deck.
