In school I loved orienteering, so I thought today’s clue from the NYT crossword puzzle would be an easy hit given it asks for abbreviated direction. Boy, was I wrong.
“Direction that’s down and a little to the right: Abbr.” is one of the clues from the Aug. 13 NYT Mini Crossword puzzle. If you know little about using a compass or the cardinal directions or are terrible at directions altogether, this clue feels impossible—unless you use these hints to help.
