Today’s Mini Screenshot:
I managed to complete this puzzle relatively easily, although I did have to fill in some answers by solving other words. It appears that DAMP and TIGER were the initial revelations, which led me to DATA, ALICE, ALOOF, MOGUL, ACUTE, POETS, and finally, FREE. After around 1 minute and 12 seconds of puzzle-solving time, I had completed today’s Mini.
