Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Saturday, May 9, 2026 — Katie Hoody paints a masterpiece in words 😍
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This was an awe-droppingly good Saturday crossword by Katie Hoody. Each clue, individually, is a work of art in miniature, and collectively, this crossword is simply a work of art. This was, make no mistake about it, a tough crossword: but it was fair, with little to no use of pop culture (Mike's nemesis), just inspiring plays on words.
This definitely, positively, pegs the meter on the JAMCR scale — a full 5 squares.
