Why a midi, not a mini or a full crossword
A mini takes a minute and disappears. A full weekday crossword wants 20 to 40 minutes of focus. A 10×10 midi lands in between. Big enough for a real theme and a couple of clever clues, small enough to finish with your coffee. For most weekday mornings, that's the size people actually want.
