About this printout
This page prints Mini #304 (Friday, July 31, 2026): a 5×5 grid with six black squares and ten clues, five Across and five Down. The site's navigation and footer are left off the printout, and so are these notes.
Solving on paper
Paper has no Check button, so write lightly where you're unsure. The shortest slot, 1-Across, has only three letters, so it's a good place to start. The shortest clue is 6-Across, “Not closed”, at two words; the longest is 5-Across, “Sound of Music heroine von Trapp”, at six words. None of the ten clues is a fill-in-the-blank, a quotation, a question-mark clue or a marked short form.
When you've finished, compare with the answer key for July 31, 2026, or open the hints if you get stuck. Prefer a screen? Play it online. The day after, Mini #305 (August 1, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “Take more than one's share of”.
