Wondering what a stock market pessimist is? Not sure what messy people love? Don't worry, because I'm here to help you with some hints and the answers for today's NYT Mini crossword.

Completed NYT Mini crossword for Sunday, March 30.
It took me 1:09 to complete today's NYT Mini.
That's slightly longer than I'd like for a non-Saturday Mini, but I'm okay with the time.
The Across clues were a little messy on the first pass. I was taking too long to think about the first one (which should have been pretty easy, in hindsight), I don't know jack about college football and of 8 Across, I was trying to think of a word that people might have used to call a group of babies a long time ago. I totally misread that one.
With only having the B of what turned out to be ABS, I guessed that 1 Down was referring to PBR. Whoops! I realized that didn't make sense as soon as I had BEAMS. I was able to clear the rest of the Down words and when I got back to 1 Down, ABS made sense at that point. Fun gimmick today!
See you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun!
