Sunday, March 13, 2022 - A Rebus-travaganza!
A Sunday crossword that Loki would've approved of, the grid was brimming with tricky word puzzles. Mike somehow got through it, but it was touch-and-go for the longest time, and the longest time was just how much he spent on this crossword! Fortunately, we have prepared a précis just for you (and all the crossword aficionados in your life). We love feedback! Send us a text... Contact Info: We love listener mail!

Saturday, March 12, 2022 - Is this a CAESURA I see before me? Gasp!
A challenging Saturday crossword ... Jean had to dig deeply into her encyclopedic knowledge of, well, everything, to claw her way to victory, and Mike, well, JEEPERSCREEPERS!

Thursday, March 10, 2022 - OYEZ, OYEZ, we judge this crossword quite NOICE!
A solid effort by John Westwig: Jean liked it slightly more than Mike, who was disappointed in the presence of HOSER and the absence of PASTEYMAN as a DC Comics supervillain. Still, it's hard to stay mad at any crossword that manages to work SCHWA into the grid: we give it a 4.5 squares on the JAMCR scale. We love feedback! Send us a text...

Wednesday, March 9, 2022 - Does this crossword make me look PHAT?
Perhaps not the most New York Times Crossword ever, but the theme definitely puts it in the running, as a celebration of a certain punctuation mark (that we will refrain from mentioning here to build suspense and wonder as you prepare to listen to the podcast). Just a reminder that while the New York Times Crossword is definitely not easy, subscribing to it is: visit nytimes.com/crosswords and tell 'em Jean and Mike sent you. We love feedback!

Tuesday, March 8, 2022 - All hail GERTRUDEELION!
Today's crossword is a tribute to International Women's Day, with a noble salute to salutary women, in particular, those who have won the Nobel Prize. While not all of those listed may be household names, they deserve to be, for all that they have done to change the world. In other news, it's Triplet Tuesday, and Jean again demonstrates her uncanny familiarity with rappers, of both the musical and gum-wrapping variety. We love feedback! Send us a text...
