We're here to help if you're struggling with today's New York Times Mini Crossword puzzle.

If the "Winter holiday gift that's hard to wrap" clue has halted your progress through today's New York Times Mini Crossword puzzle, we've got some hints to help you out and the answer you're looking for.

The answer to the "Winter holiday gift that's hard to wrap" clue in the Nov. 7 NYT Mini Crossword puzzle is "SLED." When the snow starts falling and settling on the ground, you will want a sled to enjoy the fun, but I feel for you if you're wrapping one under the tree.

I really struggled with this clue, mostly because I've never received a sled for Christmas, nor have I had to wrap one up. However, I certainly wouldn't want to wrap up a sled as I'm not great at wrapping -- I even struggle with boxes. I'm rating this clue three out of five.

If you've not had enough word puzzles today and want to try something else, the New York Times Strands and Spelling Bee puzzles offer a different sort of test. If Mini Crosswords are more your speed and you want more to tackle, head to the LA Times and Washington Post.
