How disappointing NYT Crossword clue

When I first saw the “[How disappointing]” clue in today’s NYT Mini Crossword, I immediately thought of the word “bummer,” but it’s too long for the grid. There’s a subtle hint in that clue that I initially missed, but once I found the final answer, it became obvious.

As usual, I recommend you try to find some neighboring answers to give you an idea of what you’re looking for. Some down clues today are easy enough. I’m here to help you figure out the rest.
