Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

• Wednesday, July 2, 2025 - IBIZA beckons! 🎰 🏖️

  Today's theme was great (as always), and there were oodles of appealing clues lurking in the grid today (see previous parenthetical remark 😉). A few of our favorites were 45A, Cabinet department since 1913, LABOR (now we know!); 53D, Creator of a lot of buzz in the music scene, KAZOO (cute!); and 6D, Language of W.W. II "code talkers": Var., NAVAHO (absolutely fascinating). Show note imagery: The Red Lion Pub (one of many, in the UK)We love feedback! Send us a text...Contact Info:We love listener mail!

• Monday, June 30, 2025 -- All hail the Mighty Mighty Bosstones! 🎉🎺

  This was a delightful Monday crossword, thanks to the hardworking team of Dena R. Verkuil and Andrea Carla Michaels (abetted, no doubt, by the mighty mighty Will Shortz). The theme was funny, and the clues were "Festival Food fresh", as we like to say in Northeast Wisconsin. Deets inside, so have a listen,  and, as always, invite the crossword-philes in your life to have a listen as well.Show note imagery: BYEFELICIAWe love feedback!

• Sunday, June 29, 2025 - Wheels within wheels ...

  Once again an NYTimes contributor -- today, that would be Mike Hobin -- has created a theme that will make you want to cheer, doff your hat, and applaud (although not simultaneously, for obvious reasons): it deserves that much praise. The rest of the clues were of course also of a very high caliber, resulting in the delightful puzzle that we take a magnifying glass to in today's episode.Show note imagery: The one, the only ...

• Saturday, June 28, 2025 - A deliciously devious Saturday crossword!

  This was Jesse Guzman's third NYTimes crossword, and with quality this good it's no surprise that the publication of his fourth NYTimes crossword is imminent. There was no theme, but the clues were uniformly brilliant and tricky, perfect for the "Hardest Crossword of the Week", aka, Saturday's. We approve, and bestow upon this puzzle the maximum number of squares -- that would be 5, for those of you not keeping track -- on the JAMCR scale.Show note imagery: Just a few of the many characters in the Mario universeWe love feedback!
