Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Wednesday, August 12, 2026 — Attention All Techies, Your Time Has Come 😀 📡
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This midweek crossword was short (well for some: YMMV) and sweet, with a theme that did a fine job of melding two of our favorite activities: cruising the web, and cruising NE Wisconsin. It also included some great clues, such as the historically helpful 30D, Tabard ___, locale in "The Canterbury Tales", INN (RIP: it burned down in in 1676); the wry and dry 48D, It's on the up and up, ASCENT 😀; and our favorite typographic embellishment, 22D, Little flourish on a letter, SERIF.
Show note imagery: All that's left of the Tabard INN 😢🏨
