About this printout
This page prints Mini #352 (Thursday, September 17, 2026): a 5×5 grid with four 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 4-Across, “Cash, casually”, at two words; the longest is 8-Across, “Live comedy show with a weekly host and musical guest (abbr.)”, at eleven words. Clue types to watch for:
- Marked as a short form: 8-Across, “Live comedy show with a weekly host and musical guest (abbr.)”; 4-Down, “Flavor enhancer in some Chinese food (abbr.)”
When you've finished, compare with the answer key for September 17, 2026, or open the hints if you get stuck. Prefer a screen? Play it online.
