Thursday, December 5, 2024 - A crossword with SPUNK! and, bonus: SPELUNK!

This was a fun Thursday crossword by Garett Chalfin, his ninth for the NYTimes. The theme was whimsical, the clues were cunning, and the end result was a superb addition to the NYTimes pantheon. Or, to put it another way, TLDR: 5 squares on the JAMCR scale!Show note imagery: A poster for La Forza Del Destino, by VerdiWe love feedback! Send us a text...Contact Info:We love listener mail!
