Short enough to finish in one sitting, small enough to slip into a break, and forgiving enough for a first attempt.

Keyboard: arrows to move, Enter to start a word, arrows to extend, Enter again to confirm, Esc to cancel.

A grid this small can only hold a slice of the theme, so it leans on the compact, immediately recognisable words rather than the long ones. Expect the kind of terms a person would name first if asked about the season, and expect them to sit close together: with little space to spread out, the letters of one answer often touch the letters of another.

It is a good first grid for someone who has never done one, and a good last grid for someone who is tired of thinking hard. Activity leaders keep a small format like this on hand because it fills a gap without committing anyone to a long stretch of concentration, and several copies fit easily on a table.

Start with the rarest letters rather than the first word on the list: a J or a W stands out in a small block and takes one pass to find.
