About these answers
Mini #342'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 RAISE (5-Across), ASKED (6-Across), TIERS (7-Across), BASIN (1-Down), LIKED (2-Down) and USERS (3-Down), at five letters; the shortest are BLUR (1-Across), ENDS (8-Across), REDS (4-Down) and RATE (5-Down).
The grid uses twelve different letters. The most common are E and S, 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.
