Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

• Friday, September 19, 2025 - You can pronounce magniloquence? OK but don't BRAG about it 😉

  This was a tough Friday crossword, following a couple of crunchier than usual Wednesday and Thursday offerings. Extrapolating, we are therefore quaking in our metaphorical shoes awaiting Saturday's puzzle to drop. Will it be impossible? Or merely very, very nearly impossible? 😉 Only time will tell (but then we'll tell you, in tomorrow's episode).Also in today's show ... we have a Fun Fact Friday™️ segment, and some terrific listener mail!Show note imagery: FAILLE fabric never fails to impress 😀 We love feedback!

We have the whole story inside, so do have a listen and then let us know: how did you find today's puzzle?Show note imagery: The Earl and Countess of WessexWe love feedback!

• Wednesday, September 17, 2025 - A crossword that's waaaaay more than OK!

  The remarkable xwordinfo.com has compiled a list of the maximum number of times each letter has appeared in a crossword. Up until today, K had appeared a total of 18 times, but now -- thanks to Jackson Matz -- that record stands at 24, all in the aid of a good cause, aka "the theme". Both cohosts found this to be a slightly crunchier than usual Wednesday, and Jean in particular had to put on her deerstalker hat for the win. Deets inside.Show note imagery: AKIRA Kurosawa's greatest epic, Rashomon.We love feedback! Send us a text...Contact Info:We love listener mail!

• Tuesday, September 16, 2025 - What the deuce, it's ... egad ... a LOOKIELOO! 😀 😀

  This was an excellent debut crossword by Jonathan Daly; we were dazzled by the theme, and found gems in the rest of the grid as well. We enjoyed 71A, Floppy part of a beagle, EAR; 49D, Owl's question?, WHO; and of course we are absolutely infatuated with 11D, A shopper, not a buyer, informally, LOOKIELOO.In addition, we have our traditional Triplet Tuesday™️ segment, and today Jean's in the hotseat. Show note imagery: Snoopy, who definitely has a floopy EAR (two, to be precise!)We love feedback!

• Monday, September 15, 2025 - Go, team, go!!

  This was a fine Monday crossword courtesy of the very talented Matthew Stock and Michael Lieberman. The latter, based on both this puzzle and his xwordinfo.com photo, is apparently a baseball fan; so, using that metaphor, we'd definitely categorize this crossword as a home run.Show note imagery: Behold, the mighty PEGASUS (and they're accepting pre-orders now!)We love feedback!
