Why a midi, not a mini or a full crossword
The mini takes a minute and disappears. A full weekday crossword wants 20–40 minutes of attention. A 10×10 midi sits in the middle: enough room for a real theme and a few clever clues, short enough to finish with a coffee. It's the size most people actually want on a weekday morning.
