Sunday, September 13, 2026 — Hey, It's a Tiny Escape Room 😀
from Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · host MP
Today's crossword — a very nice piece of work by Henry Lin-David and Frank S. David — featured an adorable, tiny escape room! You can't miss it — it's right in the center of the grid — and you also can't escape it, because the room is entirely walled off from the rest of the grid by black squares. This is only the 31st time, in the entire history of the NYTimes crossword, that the puzzle has included a disconnected region (it's hard to have crosswords if words don't cross!), but it is all for a very good cause. Check out today's episode for all the deets.Show note imagery: On the left, a cake topped with STREUSEL; on the right, an apple strudelWe love feedback!
