About these answers
Mini #317's ten answers fill 23 white squares, and every one of them is crossed, so each letter belongs to one Across and one Down answer. The longest answers are TRAIL (5-Across), HINDI (6-Across), EDGED (7-Across), BRIDE (1-Down), MANGA (2-Down) and WIDER (3-Down), at five letters; the shortest are BMWS (1-Across), YEAR (8-Across), SLID (4-Down) and THEY (5-Down).
The grid uses fifteen different letters. The most common are D, E and I, in three squares each, and 8 of the 23 squares hold a vowel (A, E, I, O or U). There’s no J, Q, X or Z in it.
