It’s time to reveal the answer.

The answer to a question in the Nov. 28 New York Times Mini Crossword is: “YARDS.” The gridiron is the design of American football fields that resembles a grid with yard lines. The field is 100 yards long and players try to score points by advancing the ball throughout the game, which fits perfectly with the “wins” part of the clue.

“Gridiron” is given the “NYT Mini Crossword” difficulty level.

If you are a fan of American football and watching players compete against each other to score touchdown points, you may already be familiar with the gridiron, which refers to the football field. Yards play a big role in scoring and maintaining possession in games, so this is a natural answer.

However, outside of the United States of America, football is synonymous with soccer for you, so it might be quite difficult to guess the answer unless you are familiar with American football. So, I would give it five out of five for difficulties.
