Monday, January 29, 2024 - WHEE, an answer in today's grid, and our TLDR review 😀

Both cohosts found today's crossword to be a tad tougher than usual, a small sacrifice to be made for the greater good, that being an ingenious  theme, brilliantly deployed in today's grid. The dynamic duo who constructed today's opus, Garrett Chalfin and Andrew Kingsley, have published 6 and 21 NYTimes crosswords, respectively, and that experience shines through today. Definitely worth 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.Show note imagery: From left to right,  Lin-Manuel Miranda and Philippa Soo, acclaimed actors and occasional NYTimes crossword answers.We love feedback!
