About Mini #337
Mini #337 is the daily 5×5 for Wednesday, September 2, 2026. Its grid has six black squares, laid out as three-square L-shapes in the top-left and bottom-right corners, which leaves 19 white squares for ten answers: five Across and five Down. By length, that's two five-letter, four four-letter and four three-letter answers.
The shortest clue is 1-Down, “Got started”, at two words; the longest is 4-Across, “Twelve inches make one, and you have two of these”, at ten words. None of the ten clues is a fill-in-the-blank, a quotation, a question-mark clue or a marked short form.
There's no fill-in-the-blank this time, so a good first stop is the shortest slot: 1-Across has only three letters. For more ways in, see the solving tips.
