Revised NYT Mini Puzzle Solutions and Hints for January 5th Sunday

Catch up on last Saturday's NYT Mini if you missed it:

Baffled about the distinction between a verb and an adjective? Perplexed by the term 'app customers'? Don't sweat it, I'm here to lend a hand with the answers to today's NYT Mini crossword puzzle.

The NYT Mini is a compact version of its bigger, longer-running counterpart. Every day, you'll find between 3-5 clues in each direction, situated on a 5x5 grid. Occasionally, the puzzles can be larger, especially on Saturdays.
