‘Throws hard’ clue difficulty rating
There are lots of different words you can use to refer to the act of throwing something which can make finding the right one for the clue rather tough. I also always find it a lot harder to solve a hint when the word has an “S” added on at the end since you might think of “HURL” but not consider adding an extra letter to make it fit.
With this is mind, I’m giving the “Throws hard” clue a four out of five difficulty rating. It’s certainly a bit tougher than most clues you’ll face on the daily NYT Mini Crossword puzzle.
