Monday, July 17, 2023 - BORESOME -- in the grid and in...applicable 🙄

A marvelous Monday crossword by Fulbright scholar (!) Alexander Liebeskind, and that genius shines through wherever you look in today's grid. There were (almost) impossible to pronounce answers, 66A, One whose property is being held as debt security, LIENEE; (almost) impossible to spell answers, 43A, ________ - daisy, OOPSY (not OOPSIE); and (almost) impossible to forget answers, 40D, Yawn-inducing, BORESOME (!!).A reminder that the NYTimes Crossword is a great way to keep your wits sharp and your fingers on the pulse of modern (and ancient!) culture: you can subscribe at nytimes.com/crosswords, tell 'em Jean & Mike sent ya'.We love feedback!
