The 'Thyme piece' clue in the NYT Mini Crossword is a bit tricky, as it could refer to the herb itself or something else entirely.
The answer, 'SPRIG', might not be instantly obvious, but it's a small part of a plant with leaves and a stem.
The clue gives you hints like 'ends with a G' and 'rhymes with jig', making it easier to figure out the answer.
So, next time you see the word 'sprig', remember that it's a small piece of a plant, like a tiny branch of thyme!
