About these answers
Mini #321'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 CHANT (5-Across), OASIS (6-Across), MISTY (7-Across), CHAIR (1-Down), LASSO (2-Down) and UNITS (3-Down), at five letters; the shortest are CLUE (1-Across), BROS (8-Across), ETSY (4-Down) and COMB (5-Down).
The grid uses fifteen different letters. The most common is S, in four squares, 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.
