About this printout

This page prints Mini #330 (Wednesday, August 26, 2026): a 5×5 grid with two 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. 1-Across, “Coffee ___ (a single one of these makes a cup)”, is a fill-in-the-blank, often the quickest way in. The shortest clue is 4-Down, “Close by”, at two words; the longest is 1-Across, “Coffee ___ (a single one of these makes a cup)”, at ten words. Clue types to watch for:

  • Fill-in-the-blank: 1-Across, “Coffee ___ (a single one of these makes a cup)”; 6-Across, “‘Get ___ here!’ (‘No way!’)”; 5-Down, “‘Oh, my ___!’ (mild exclamation)”
