I loathed doing the mlnl crossword today. For example: 4 ACROSS is
unfathomable to me. As a subscriber and a regular puzzle solver. I HOPE THIS PUZZLE WIll NOT SERVE AS A MODEL FOR FUTURE MINIS.
Love the mini. My favorites are the clue-and-answer pairs that are difficult but on solving reward you with an aha moment. I feel so smart!
The answer posted for the June 11, 2024, Mini Crossword for the number 1, across question is wrong. It is “SAD” not “SAF.” Otherwise, the correct answer to number 3, down question would have to be: “FICES”, not “DICES”. And “DICES” is correct.
Dates are wrong for mini answers today.
WAKE UP!!!
The answer to the December 14 Mini #1 is not WAS, it is MAS!
You were Mrong!!!!!
