Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Tuesday, November 18, 2025 - Avast, thar be JETSAM ahead, me hearties!🏴☠️
Joe Deeney's crosswords always seem to include a little extra spice, a little extra pizzazz: we present today's puzzle as an exemplar, and that's not just because we've been itching to use exemplar in a sentence 😀.
As evidence, we have 59A, Timeless, to a poet, ETERNE; our favorite E. C. Segar heroine, 58D, Toondom's Olive, OYL; and the rarely seen 39A, Gets back together, REUNES.
We have a Triplet Tuesday Contest, in which Mike attempts to atone for last time, when he momentarily slipped into his native language, Latin. Will he succeed? Or will he iterum in flammas cadet? Tune in to find out!
