About these answers
Mini #404'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 METER (6-Across), ITEMS (2-Down), FATAL (3-Down) and THEME (4-Down), at five letters; the shortest are GUM (1-Down) and RAW (7-Down).
The grid uses thirteen different letters. The most common are A, E, M and T, in three 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.
