Your card shows the grid as a silhouette, your time, clean or assisted, your streak and the days to launch, never a letter.
Tap a square, type, and beat your time; a new Mini at midnight UTC, a streak, a spoiler-free result to share and an archive of past days. A fan crossword on an unofficial fan site.
How to play
Leonida Mini is a five-by-five crossword: black squares split the grid, and every white square sits in an Across entry, a Down entry or both. Tap a square to select it and tap again to flip between Across and Down; the clue bar above the grid always shows the clue you are solving. On a phone the keyboard under the grid types the letters, so nothing pops up over the puzzle; on a desktop your own keyboard works, with Backspace to clear, the arrow keys to move and Tab to jump to the next clue. The timer starts with your first letter and pauses when you leave the tab. When every square is right the grid lights up and your time is in.
Stuck? Check letter and Check word mark what is wrong; Reveal letter and Reveal word fill it in. Using any of them makes the solve assisted, and the emoji grid you share turns yellow instead of green; a clean solve is one with no help at all. Everyone gets the same Mini on the same UTC day, so times are comparable, and the archive lets you play any past day for fun without touching your streak.
The clues are written for this site. Most are plain general knowledge; the Leonida ones use only what the site already lists as confirmed, such as the regions, Vice City and its neighbourhoods, Jason and Lucia and the launch date.

Questions
How do I play?
Tap a square to select it; tap it again to switch between Across and Down. The clue bar above the grid shows the clue you are on. Type letters with the on-screen keys on a phone or your keyboard on a desktop; the cursor moves to the next square of the entry. Backspace clears a square (or steps back), the arrow keys move around the grid, and Tab jumps to the next clue. The puzzle is solved when every square is right.
What do Check and Reveal do?
Check letter and Check word mark wrong letters; Reveal letter and Reveal word fill them in. Any of them marks the solve as assisted, so a clean solve means no checks and no reveals. The timer starts on your first letter and pauses while the tab is hidden.
Where do the clues come from?
Every clue is written for this site. Most are ordinary general knowledge; the Leonida ones use only facts the site already lists as confirmed: the regions, Vice City and its neighbourhoods, Jason and Lucia, the launch date. Nothing here comes from a leak or a rumour, and no clue is copied from another crossword.
What is the archive?
Any past day's Mini, clearly marked as archive. Archive solves are for fun: they never count for your streak, your stats or the daily results.
Is this an official puzzle?
No. VICEMAP is an unofficial fan site and Leonida Mini is a fan crossword. The answers are ordinary English words; the GTA 6 clues state only what Rockstar has confirmed.
