As we speak’s Mini
Saturday is meant to be the toughest crossword of the week, however this one—whereas definitely containing extra phrases—was not terribly tough. I suppose that’s partly simply luck of the draw. Typically you recognize the phrases and typically you don’t. SMORE was simple, however then I additionally knew SLALOMS (regardless of being a awful skier) and CANDLES and ALABAMA at which level MANATEE was fairly apparent. From right here, it’s like dominoes falling. Sufficient phrases fill in that even those you may not get immediately like NOTABIT or LADEN rapidly come into focus. This took me 1:38 at the moment.
