Saturday, April 18, 2026 - NEON!, Ask for it by name, accept no substitutes! 😉 😀
from Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · host MP
This was a very nice Saturday crossword by Jesse Cohn, almost exactly one year since he last published on a Saturday. The clues were interesting / challenging / suitably obscure, as one would hope. Several stood out, including 12D, Blitzed, SAUCED; 26A, Metros in the 1990s, GEOS; and 27D, Relatives of ottomans, HASSOCKS. All in all this was a fine addition to the Saturday pantheon; we give it a full and enthusiastic 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.Show note imagery: NEON, the 5th most common element in the universe — quite fortunate, because no matter what your species, you can never have enough OPEN signs and/or lightsabers 😀 We love feedback!
