SATURDAY’S PUZZLE — What a pretty grid. I love a nice pinwheel.

Tim Croce’s puzzle is not a record-breaker, but it does only have 58 words, giving us a bountiful amount of white space in which to write. According to Will Shortz, “With just 58 words, this grid design is an eye-opener. My favorite entries in it are 6A, 38A, 14D, 20D, 23D, 29D and 34D. I didn’t care so much for ADSORBS, BCS (especially that), SONDE and one or two other things. But overall this is pretty handsome.”

Well, that takes a lot of the wind out of my pinwheel; I was going to say much the same as Mr. Shortz, except that I was really lost at the PIA MATERS/SLATE ROOF and the ALENÇON /TOOLER crossings. It’s Saturday, though, so a tricky entry about, say, the brain crossed with a very tricky clue about a SLATE ROOF is not beyond what is considered fair. That doesn’t make me feel better about being Nothnageled, but it’s the truth.

There are a whopping 17 unique entries in Mr. Croce’s grid, and my favorites among them were SMART ALEC, SOLO HOMER and TOUGH ROAD. A few — BATTALION, CONCERTOS and FEVERISH — have not been seen since Eugene Maleska was puzzle editor.

For my money, Clue of the Day goes to “Its arms are not solid,” a mind-bender from the first visual of nonsolid limbs, right through to the realization that we’ve been misdirected and that Mr. Croce is talking about the SEA.

Let’s find out more about Mr. Croce’s puzzle:

Constructor’s Notes

So how did I do it? Well, I started with a sheet of graph paper, several mechanical pencils, a LOT of erasers, and a caffeine I.V. … Just kidding. I used pen. No, honestly … I didn’t set out on purpose to make a sub-60-word grid with this one. I just went for an eye-catching pattern, and it came out at 58 words. This grid started life as a 66-worder, with the stair-step block pattern extended diagonally one more. I thought that pattern looked cool, but it was on a whim that I took out those four blocks and saw if I could make the pattern work. I started off just with a power-fill to see if it could be done, not expecting much. I knew there were going to be some compromises (see 47A, 50A, 4D in the final product). Not only did I come up with a fill, but I did so in only a couple of minutes and the center actually came out looking like you see here the first time I filled. So, there I had my interlocking framework (26-29-30-31-35A, 14-17-20-23-27D) MUCH more quickly than I expected. I don’t know if it’s the easiest sub-60 grid pattern out there to fill without an excessive number of blocks, but I’ve certainly not found any “easier” ones. From there, the northeast was the section that most frustrated me. At first, I didn’t want to use 8D at all because it seemed like an awkward plural. I kept rejecting it. Nor could I get any other phrase ending in TIES to work the way I wanted, believe it or not. I was thisclose to just scrapping the whole framework and starting over, but I actually searched Google and found it to be completely legit (i.e. used outside of a dictionary.) With that, I found my fill and serendipitously came upon 6D in the fill, which was, at that point, unused in The New York Times (to my great surprise.) As a college football fan, I am happy to see it go! I fully admit that my strength in cluing is not the greatest, but I’m particularly happy about my clue for 38A (and the entry.)

I wanted to end this post with my take on the word SPLITTERS, a Britishism used to describe people who hold different political beliefs in the Monty Python film “Life of Brian”, but unfortunately the scene is not standards-friendly. Instead, let’s rock out with SANTANA’s performance of “Soul Sacrifice” at Woodstock:

Just wrapped up the NYT Mini Crossword for today, and I have to say, it was a nice little challenge. It’s funny how these mini puzzles is supposed to be quick and easy, but sometimes they really makes you think! I started off strong, filling in the first few answers without hesitation, but then I hit a clue that made me pause. You know that moment when you’re sure you know the answer, but you just can’t get it to click? That happened to me today. I was staring at the grid, running through all the possible words in my head, and then—boom—it finally hits me. The answer was something so obvious I couldn’t believe I didn’t saw it sooner.

I also had a moment where I filled in an answer that fit perfectly, but when I went to do the crossing clue, it didn’t make no sense. So I had to backtrack and rethink that whole section. I’ve learned that in these puzzles, it’s often the simplest answers that trips you up because you start overthinking everything. Once I got pass that little hurdle, the rest of the puzzle came together pretty smoothly.

One thing I love about the mini crosswords is how they’re a perfect mix of quick satisfaction and a little mental workout. It’s such a good feeling when you see the grid fill up, even if it’s only five by five. And there’s always that one word or phrase that makes you smile when you get it, like a little reward for your effort.

Today’s puzzle took me a few minutes longer than usual, but I didn’t mind. It was nice to take a break from work and give my brain something different to focus on. Now that it’s done, I’m already looking forward to tomorrow’s puzzle. It’s become part of my daily routine, and it’s something I really enjoy. Whether I finish quickly or have to think a bit harder, it’s always satisfying to see the whole grid filled in at the end.
