About these answers
Mini #380'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 MINOR (4-Across), ENTRY (6-Across), TERSE (7-Across), FINER (1-Down), INTRO (2-Down) and NORSE (3-Down), at five letters; the shortest are FIN (1-Across), ROE (8-Across), MET (4-Down) and RYE (5-Down).
The grid uses ten different letters. The most common are E and R, in four squares each, 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.
