How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from minicrossword.com at $134 (level B): $67 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $167 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $267 before relevance. A quote far above $167 for a level B link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 50 / 100; the link it usually gives is level B — may be discounted (a guest, sponsored or listed link). The spam score of its links is 9 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not minicrossword.com's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Sept 2026 estimate: 788.6K monthly visits, 43% from organic search (337.7K). Visits rose 190% from Jul 2026 to Sept 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “mini crossword”, about 43.9K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

Server and network
Its domain was registered in 2018.
mxverify looked up minicrossword.com's address: it is served through Cloudflare (CDN), a content delivery network. Its address is shared edge infrastructure used by unrelated sites, so it cannot show who else runs on the same server, and sharing the network is no sign of a connection.
Cloudflare (CDN) fronts millions of unrelated sites, so sharing it says nothing about who runs a site. The count is shown; the sites are not listed.
