About these answers
Mini #336's ten answers fill 21 white squares, and every one of them is crossed, so each letter belongs to one Across and one Down answer. The longest answers are NOVAS (6-Across), ATOMS (2-Down), NAVEL (3-Down) and GHANA (4-Down), at five letters; the shortest are FUN (1-Down) and SUB (7-Down).
The grid uses fourteen different letters. The most common is A, in four squares, and 8 of the 21 squares hold a vowel (A, E, I, O or U). There’s no J, Q, X or Z in it.
