Saturday, October 12, 2024 - GEEWHIZ this was a tough crossword!
Manage episode 444913309 series 2927391
At the NYTimes, the Saturday crosswords are traditionally the toughest of the week, and today's, a debut (!) by Katie Hoody, is certainly in that vein. Although difficult, the clues were awesome, making that wondrous AHA! moment that comes when you solve one just that much sweeter.
For example, we had the magnificent 8D, Took in a bad way, POACHED (woah!); 56D, Lead follower: Abbr, DET (definitely a Saturday level clue); and the subtle 48A, Good point, PRO. Those are just a few of the many, many great clues in the puzzle.
It is also Saturday, time for our JAMCOTWA (Jean And Mike Crossword Of The Week Award™), and today's winner goes to ... somebody: check out today's episode for their name, our rationale, and all the other particulars.
