About these answers
Mini #335'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 ALPHA (5-Across), CARES (6-Across), EMILY (7-Across), BLAME (1-Down), APRIL (2-Down) and SHELL (3-Down), at five letters; the shortest are BASE (1-Across), SELL (8-Across), EASY (4-Down) and ACES (5-Down).
The grid uses twelve different letters. The most common are A, E and L, in four squares each, and 9 of the 23 squares hold a vowel (A, E, I, O or U). There’s no J, Q, X or Z in it.
