New York Times Mini Crossword ⚔

My problem was that I immediately thought of SAINTS for the 2nd across and obviously that called TOADS into question so I had to wait for the downs to clear it up.

Failed Waffle needed one more move to finish it, made one (maybe two) no-green moves, so defo needed more strategy than just getting the bottom row and taking it from there.

had all the across but 1A pretty fast, then when I got 1D I went for TREES - then took a little bit to unpick that

26s, not bad for first time in ages trying (bus journey today giving me time). Skipped first two across then everything else fell into place first time.

That was the only thing I could think of for 1A so had to get all the downs to work it out.
