Today’s NYT Mini Crossword clue, “Centerpieces at wedding receptions,” shows how weddings are different depending on who’s getting married. I first thought “centerpieces” meant the little decorations and flowers on the guests’ tables, but it’s actually something else.
I personally never heard of this as a centerpiece where I live. That’s why I struggled with this one and needed some hints to solve it. But I’m here to help you solve it, too.

The answer to “centerpieces at wedding receptions nyt” is CAKES. I thought this was strange because I hadn’t seen mini cakes used as centerpieces at weddings. At my own wedding, we had one big cake on the main table for everyone to see. Often, it’s just a decorative cake, and the real, edible cake is in the kitchen, where it’s cut and served to guests. So, even though I’m married and had a wedding party, I found this clue hard. I can see why some people struggled with it.
Now that you know some people use cakes and mini-cakes as centerpieces, you can probably finish the rest of today’s mini crossword. If you want another challenge, try the LA Times or Washington Post mini-crosswords. They’re just as challenging and different from the NYT version, giving you a new 5×5 grid to solve for free.

Looking back at legendary Dota 2 accomplishments.
It’s been over ten years since Dota 2 was released, so there’s no better time to recognize the amazing accomplishments this MOBA has seen.
Who could have dreamt that something that started life as a Warcraft III mod would have become a global esports phenomenon? But Dota 2 has gone from strength to strength, bringing us phenomenal players, epic, nail-biting matches, and much, much more.
So, we’ve teamed up with GG.BET Esports betting brand to recognise Dota 2’s game-changing impact. We’ve created a virtual monument, celebrating the legends who have elevated this MOBA and turned it into the world-class esport it is today.
We’re not just talking about Dota 2’s big winners, either; with GG.BET’s help, we’ve dug into every element of this esport, from players to content creators to presenters and matches and beyond. Ever wondered which player made the most money from their Dota 2 skills? Which was the longest competitive game? And which presenter appeared at the most TIs? Those are just some of the Dota 2 records we’ve preserved for posterity.
We pride ourselves on being esports experts, and we dug deeper than ever to unearth these records, achievements that we were truly worthy of preservation. But we felt that to make this project truly outstanding, we’d need some equally special support. GG.BET has a history of investing in esports and supporting the creation of top-tier esports content, which is why we turned to them to help launch this epic Dota 2 project.
Few games have the sheer staying power of Dota 2. It’s captured the hearts and minds of not only its competitors but the millions of eager spectators who, offline and online, cheer their gaming heroes on. It’s exciting to imagine just what the next decade will hold, and the players and creators who’ll usher in a new age of Dota 2.
But that doesn’t mean we should forget the pioneers who first stepped up, many of whom are still battling away. Dota 2 would be a dim memory without them, instead of the magnificent, much-loved MOBA it is today. With our dedicated Dota 2 records site, their epic esports accomplishments will live on forever.
