Today's Mini

This was another pretty straightforward Mini Crossword. I skipped a couple that I wasn’t sure of—5 Down, for instance—but many others like GOTH and HAGAR were more obvious. “Ceiling spinners” had to be FANS and pretty soon I had enough words completed that some just filled themselves in, and others—like CURVE—became glaringly obvious. I finished today’s Mini in 1:17.
