Wednesday Mini Crossword – September 9, 2026

Every Wednesday the Johns Hopkins News‑Letter drops a bite‑sized crossword to give busy students a quick mental stretch. This week’s edition, dated September 9 2026, was put together by Nikhil Subhas.

Using the free crossword builder from Amuse Labs, Subhas managed to cram a handful of clever clues into a compact grid that you can finish between classes—or even while waiting for your coffee to brew. The theme this time? A playful nod to campus life, with words like “lab,” “review,” and “tune‑in” sneaking in.

Feel free to take a shot at it, scribble in a notebook, or tackle it on your phone. If you spot a typo or think a clue could use a tweak, the News‑Letter is always looking for tips. Just drop a note through their “Submit a Tip” link and you might see your suggestion in a future mini.

Whether you’re a crossword veteran or a newcomer looking for a low‑stakes brain teaser, this Wednesday Mini is meant to be fun, quick, and just quirky enough to brighten a mid‑week pause.
