About this printout

This page prints Mini #349 (Monday, September 14, 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. The shortest slot, 1-Across, has only four letters, so it's a good place to start. The shortest clue is 5-Across, “Paddle-powered boat”, at two words; the longest is 1-Across, “Sound after a big drink of soda”, at seven 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 September 14, 2026, or open the hints if you get stuck. Prefer a screen? Play it online. The day before, Mini #348 (September 13, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “Slightly open, as a door”; the day after, Mini #350 (September 15, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “Show off verbally”.
