Have you ever been to Hawaii? I haven’t, but I’d love to visit. It’s raining here in England and it’s supposed to be August, for goodness sake. Get me out of this country before I lose the will to live. Doing today’s NYT Mini Crossword and looking for the name of a Hawaiian island seen from the west shore of Maui? You’ve come to the right place.
‘Hawaiian island seen from the west shore of Maui’ NYT Aug. 21 Mini Crossword hints and answer
- Hint 1: Sixth-largest island in Hawaii.
- Hint 2: _____ Del Rey.
- Hint 3: It starts with the letter “L.”
- Hint 4: Pineapple Island.
Did you get it? The answer to one down in the Aug. 21 New York Times Crossword is “LANAI.” Colloquially known as “Pineapple Island” because of its past as an island-wide pineapple plantation, Lanai is the sixth-largest island in the state. It has a population of just 3,400, so I don’t blame you for not knowing it.
Lanai was historically called Lānaʻi o Kauluāʻau, translating to “day of the conquest of Kauluāʻau” in English.
