Thursday, January 4, 2023 - SOBE, or not SOBE ... yup, it was SOBE 😀
from Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · host MP
An excellent Thursday crossword, marred by an unfortunate technical glitch. The themed clues contained underlined letters, but the underscores did not appear in the app (they appeared as expected in a web browser). Needless to say this caused much consternation and gnashing of teeth, and the NYTimes crossword editorial team leapt into action, quickly replacing underscores with parentheses: but some early solvers were a tad ticked. Still, once you look past the underscore fiasco, you can see a very nicely done Thursday crossword: check out today's episode for all the deets!Show note imagery: A rare 1857 Flying Eagle pennyWe love feedback!
