‘Red Cross founder Barton’ NYT Mini Crossword difficulty rating
I am familiar with the Red Cross organization but I didn’t know much about its founder so I had to solve through the crossword to find the answer.
However, if you’re good with your history lessons and know the name then the clue has her surname which makes it a bit easier for people to narrow down their guess and find the right answer. So, I’d give it a four out of five for difficulty.
