About this printout

This page prints Mini #366 (Thursday, October 1, 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 2-Down, “Home, sweet home”, at three words; the longest is 8-Across, “Passed a test with flying colors”, at six 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 October 1, 2026, or open the hints if you get stuck. Prefer a screen? Play it online. The day before, Mini #365 (September 30, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “Woe is me!”; the day after, Mini #367 (October 2, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “Vehicles in a garage”.
