About Mini #350
Mini #350 is the daily 5×5 for Tuesday, September 15, 2026. Its grid has two black squares, laid out as single squares in the top-right and bottom-left corners, which leaves 23 white squares for ten answers: five Across and five Down. By length, that's six five-letter and four four-letter answers.
The shortest clue is 9-Across, “Final”, at one word; the longest is 5-Across, “Money used in France and Germany”, at six words. Clues worth knowing about before you start:
- Ends in a question mark: 4-Down, “Farm animals that butt heads?”
- Marked as a short form: 6-Down, “Baseball figure like batting average, briefly”
There's no fill-in-the-blank this time, so a good first stop is the shortest slot: 1-Across has only four letters. Some clues lean on a name or title, such as 5-Across, “Money used in France and Germany”; if one is unfamiliar, work its crossing answers first. For more ways in, see the solving tips.
