March 29, 2022 - That's ASADA Taco!
Today's crossword is right down to business, and while the more pedantic might argue that it is, technically speaking, right across to business, we not only stand by our statement but maintain that it might be the germ of a future crossword theme. In the meantime, this crossword also had a theme, which you'll surely want to make your business: so download, listen up and, as usual, enjoy! We love feedback! Send us a text...

Monday, March 28, 2022 - BENTOBOX - simultaneously a Japanese-style lunch box and a product-placement coup for BentoBox Restaurant, Inc.
A fairly straightforward Monday: Jean came tantalizingly close to breaking the 5-minute barrier, while Mike ... did not. For the deets, as in who knew what when, and who thought that CANON should be spelled with 2 N's, we cordially invite you to subscribe / download / enjoy. We love feedback! Send us a text...

Saturday, March 19, 2022 - LONCHANEY, the "Man of 1000 Faces" (and 3 New York Times Crosswords)
Saturdays are generally regarded as the toughest crosswords of the week, and today's is an exemplar: but like the best of the Saturdays, it does not flood the grid with cultural references, but just uses witty cluing. Who cannot but applaud clues such as 20D, Something often seen with trunks, BARECHEST? Or 37A, Came out of the blue?, CHEEREDUP? Those are just a few of a bevy of brilliant clues and answers. Next week we are on hiatus, but fortunately our entire back catalog is available for y...

Friday, March 18, 2022 - JOYCE Bryant, aka The Belter
Today's crossword was a toughie. Both Jean & Mike flailed about in the northwest corner, where some deliciously EVIL (and we say that in the best possible sense of the word, and also because EVIL happened to be one of the answers!) cluing made for a hard slog. The rest of the grid was no cakewalk either, but still, we like a challenge, and doff our hats to the constructors, and would rate this a definite 5 squares on the JAMCR scale. We love feedback!

Thursday, March 17, 2022 - SANTASLAP - a comfy place or a precursor to coal in a stocking? You be the judge!
A highly satisfactory Thursday offering, with a brilliant theme, and the sort of terrifically crisp cluing that suggests Jeff Chen is involved. This is definitely a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale, and to find out what it takes to get into that rarefied echelon, download / subscribe / enjoy!We love feedback!

Wednesday, March 15, 2022 - It's ducks, all the way down!
Today's crossword was just ducky! And not that we're trying to SHIRK our responsibility, but in order to AVOID any spoiler alerts, and DODGE controversy, we will eschew any further references to a theme that is guaranteed to quack you up!We love feedback!

Tuesday, March 15, 2022 - This crossword? ITS(NOT)THEPITS
