About this printout
This page prints Mini #359 (Thursday, September 24, 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, “Not asleep”, at two words; the longest is 7-Across, “Spoken through the nose, like some voices”, at seven words. Clue types to watch for:
- Written as a quotation: 8-Across, “Same here”
When you've finished, compare with the answer key for September 24, 2026, or open the hints if you get stuck. Prefer a screen? Play it online. The day before, Mini #358 (September 23, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “A soak in the tub”.
