INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO

Thursday, April 23, 2026 - A *brilliant* Thursday treat!

This is Zhou Zhang and Kevin Curry's second collaboration, and it is an uber-awesome bit of cruciverbal magic. They started with a chef's kiss of a theme, puzzling with a powerful payoff; they ended with a slew of equally awesome clues. Consider: 42A, What the "Music City Miracle" and the "Immaculate Reception" took place in, NFLAMES (😀); 44A. Alternative to bow ties, PENNE (😀 😀); and 48A, Test release?, TIMESUP (😀 😀 😀).

We cannot wait for ZZ and KC's third collaboration, best on prior work it's sure to be a hoot.

Show note imagery: In the worlds of the immortal Yoda, "DO, or DONUT, there is no try" 🙄

Wednesday, October 14, 2026 — Happy National Curd Day Eve 🧀 😍

Today's crossword, by Jacob Stulberg, celebrated a scourge of modern civilization, a negative answer to the phrase made famous by Verizon — "Can you hear me now?". It made for a terrific (and possibly painful) theme, and is just one of the reasons that we are giving this crossword a …

Saturday, October 17, 2026 — Yup, This Was a Saturday Crossword Alright! 😀 😱

Saturday crosswords are, by tradition — at least since Will Shortz took over as editor — the toughest puzzles of the week, and today's definitely qualified. Both cohosts had to labor mightily to get to the happy music, but the journey was a joyous one. There were many, many delightfully decept…

Thursday, October 15, 2026 — You Can't Hide from the Ides 🙄

Today's crossword was an absolutely terrific debut by McKay Fritz, with another one of those delightful and, as expected, thoroughly unexpected themes that the NYTimes is legendary for.  We'll pause here momentarily to give everyone, including us, a chance to parse that last sentence. 😀  …

We would classify today's crossword as a tinge crunchier than usual, for a Tuesday. Certainly 57D, Ceremonial Maori dance, HAKA, did not leap to mind. Likewise 7D, Whole that's greater than the sum of its parts, from the German, GESTALT, was a great entry that has never appeared on a Tues…

Friday, October, 16, 2026 — No, You Can't Play an EBOW With An ELBOW 🙄😂

Today's crossword was a debut for Adam Shapiro — but it wasn't for a lack of trying. He has had 15 previous submissions to the NYTimes rejected, so today's puzzle is a monument to perseverance as well as crossword constructing excellence. An example of the latter may be seen in 39D, …
