This was a surprisingly robust Mini Crossword! I blame that, partly, on understanding subsequent to nothing about Olivia Rodrigo, not to mention the names of her albums (or songs, for that matter). Fortunately, I did know what roll Robin Williams and Will Smith shared: The Genie from Aladdin (and never that Will Smith was unhealthy, however no person compares to Robin Williams). REM stands for Fast Eye Motion, in order that was simple sufficient, little by little I discovered UGLY for sweaters (KNIT didn’t work) TANGO for the dance (a preferred crossword dance) and ultimately, 1 minute and 48 seconds later, I had this one. Gradual and regular wins the race.
