About this printout
This page prints Mini #406 (Tuesday, November 10, 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, “Pleads earnestly”, at two words; the longest is 7-Across, “Dutch cheese with a red wax coating”, at seven 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 November 10, 2026, or open the hints if you get stuck. Prefer a screen? Play it online. The day before, Mini #405 (November 9, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “Young woman, informally”; the day after, Mini #407 (November 11, 2026), opens with 1-Across, “Stylish and fashionable”.
