About this printout
This page prints Mini #354 (Saturday, September 19, 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 8-Across, “Gentlemen”, at one word; the longest is 4-Down, “Read quickly, or remove from milk's surface”, 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 19, 2026, or open the hints if you get stuck. Prefer a screen? Play it online. The day before, Mini #353 (September 18, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “Black-and-white whale also called a killer whale”; the day after, Mini #355 (September 20, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “Tool for chopping wood”.
