Monday, June 2, 2025 - Yup, this crossword was dee-lish!
from Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · host MP
This was a very fine sophomore crossword by Anthony V. Grubb, appearing almost exactly one year after his NY Times debut (also a Monday). The theme was cute; the clues, at an apposite Monday level, included a few gems. For instance, 19D, Superfan, in slang, STAN (we're big STAN STANs 😀); 31D, Pink Nintendo character from Planet Popstar, KIRBY (we're also big KIRBY STANs 😀 😀); and the somewhat fishy 55A, Hook, line and sinker, for an angler: GEAR (😉).Show note imagery: Just in time for spring, a SPRIG of thyme 😉We love feedback!
