About this printout

This page prints Mini #355 (Sunday, September 20, 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 1-Down, “Helped out”, at two words; the longest is 5-Across, “Olympic award for first, second, or third place”, at eight 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 20, 2026, or open the hints if you get stuck. Prefer a screen? Play it online. The day before, Mini #354 (September 19, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “Feel unwell”; the day after, Mini #356 (September 21, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “Sculpture of a head and shoulders”.
