About this printout

This page prints Mini #365 (Wednesday, September 30, 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 6-Across, “Correct”, at one word; the longest is 5-Across, “Girl's name, or a type of heather”, at seven words. Clue types to watch for:

  • Written as a quotation: 1-Across, “Woe is me!”
  • Marked as a short form: 4-Down, “Saturdays, briefly”

When you've finished, compare with the answer key for September 30, 2026, or open the hints if you get stuck. Prefer a screen? Play it online.
