Mini VI

■ · By vampirebat · Published 2024-04-12T17:12:57.836Z · Crosshare's Daily Mini for 4/29/2024

for this one i challenged myself twofold: i wanted to try making a 5x5 mini with no black squares (i.e. with all 5-letter words) and to write clues without looking at the clue suggestion thing. this was so much harder than expected and i definitely felt like jake gyllenhaal in zodiac (2007) and it still doesn't feel perfect but here it is!!
also fun fact i structured the crossword around 6A/2D and i was going to clue them as homophones of each other but then i googled and turns out i've been mispronouncing 2D my entire life LOL. but i don't have it in me to remake the grid again so have it anyway

            nice! congrats on completing the challenge! i think ABORE/ABHOR vaguely sound the same, so the theme still works
