Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
A short, fun and occasionally not unintentionally educational podcast in which two fans of the New York Times crossword describe their puzzle-solving travails.
Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Tuesday, January 6, 2026 - NOCAP, this was an *awesome* crossword 😀
Today's crossword was terrific. A theme that pegged the pun-meter, a second theme that nobody other than your cohosts know about 😀, and a lot of other fine clues in the grid. We particularly enjoyed the duality of 42A, One-named supermodel, IMAN and 39D, Country in which men traditionally wear robes called dishdashas, OMAN; and we also appreciated the memory-lane moment induced by 50D, "Ghosts" playwright Henrik, IBSEN.
In other news, we have another Triplet Tuesday segment: to find out if Mike soared or plummeted, check out today's episode.
Show note imagery: IMAN (right) in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, from 1991.
