It took me 0:25 to complete today’s NEW Mini.

I was so very close to a perfect solution to this one. SEGUE was the only one of the Across tracks I missed on my first pass. But with four out of five letters in place for the Down words, it was easy to zip through them. For what it’s worth, TOTES means “total.”
