Return of the Quadruple Mini

◆ · By SporcleMirror · Published 2022-08-13T15:54:03.522Z

Constructor's Note
Aside from 1-Across and 6-Across, each clue is paired with the other along its row or column, and it's up to you to figure out which clue goes with which entry. There is one correct solution. Check out the original Quadruple Mini at https://crosshare.org/crosswords/BKUosUeNzPs6cfDosKqw/quadruple-mini
Can you spot the (somewhat) hidden message? It explains why I decided to make a Quadruple Mini of my own, in a way. (Check https://crosshare.org/tags/twin-minis for my series of "twin mini" puzzles)

      Some 13A 14A indeed! Some lovely clues throughout

        So good!

          I like these a lot. Thanks. I don’t understand 25D, however.

            That’s a bit of a trick, you were probably thinking something like UNITE or MERGE, but 1 is also half of 2, so if you HALVE 2 you get 1.

              Wasn’t focusing on the math, was I? Thanks.

            I wonder how hard these would be if you don't disambiguate the first two clues. So you would just take common letters in one direction and let that restrict things.

              I'll let @sommersmith (the author of the original quadruple mini) experiment with that. I have another quadruple mini coming up but I think I'll still have single clues in the top row.
