Frequently Asked Questions About This Clue
The answer to “Licorice-flavored vegetables [32 oz.]” in the New York Times puzzle October 12 2025 is FENNELBULBS. Quite straight and simple! Complete your daily NYT Mini challenge with this solution.
The clue consists of two parts. The first, ‘Licorice-flavored,’ points directly to fennel, known for its anise-like taste. The second part, ‘[32 oz.],’ is a clever wordplay and the key to solving the puzzle.
Here’s the breakdown:
- 32 oz is equivalent to 2 pounds (lbs).
- The abbreviation for pound is LB.
- The answer, FENNEL BULBS, contains the letters “LB” twice.
Therefore, the [32 oz.] isn’t about the vegetable’s weight but is a coded hint for “2 x LB” found within the answer. This thematic trick is seen elsewhere in the puzzle, such as in “MINE ALL MINE,” where (120 sec) points to two instances of “MIN” (minutes).
