hahaha never have i been so bad at a mini puzzle- and i am pre-coffee but that’s not even why, i was just totally blanking on 60-70% of these and due to personal bias kept trying to make “high” a five-letter word
3 minutes 40, all the sports related clues kicked my ass but i still had fun!
1.48! The puzzles are the best part of my day!
4:25 and a score of 420, in this one I had to use letter reveals for all words except 4-down!
Fun clue for 2d! That’s the one that unlocked the puzzle for me because it took me a while to get 1a.
I loved that this was a harder mini! Had to do something else for a minute and come back.
1min 23 seconds! Thank you to The Chicks
I was missing one letter and thought The Chicks song answer was “y´all” (didn´t grow up with U.S. culture) so I spent a full minute under the impression that the answer to “vibrator setting” was “pussy” and was all “wow, love this bold crossword puzzle!”
Bet there´s a dirty-crossword-solver/constructor subculture.
love this!
Weirdly was just reading about 1 down
