About these answers
Mini #408'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 UNION (5-Across), NUDGE (7-Across), SIGMA (8-Across), INUIT (2-Down), RIDGE (3-Down) and DOGMA (4-Down), at five letters; the shortest are BIRD (1-Across), TEAR (9-Across), BUNS (1-Down) and NEAR (6-Down).
The grid uses thirteen different letters. The most common are I and N, in three squares each, and 10 of the 23 squares hold a vowel (A, E, I, O or U). There’s no J, Q, X or Z in it.
