About this printout
This page prints Mini #395 (Friday, October 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 1-Down, “Small stream”, at two words; the longest is 6-Across, “Rocky shelf on a cliff”, at five 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 30, 2026, or open the hints if you get stuck. Prefer a screen? Play it online. The day before, Mini #394 (October 29, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “Gentle collision, or a swelling from one”.
