About the date and grid
September 19, 2026, falls on a Saturday. Dated archive listings place this puzzle between the September 18 and September 20 entries. The available answer pages are independent sources; an official New York Times puzzle page was not retrieved for this entry.
Descriptions of the grid size conflict: NYTSolver and Mini Answers list it as 6×8, while The Word Finder describes the standard Saturday Mini as 7×7. Without an official puzzle source to resolve the discrepancy, no single grid dimension is asserted here.
