Thursday, March 26, 2026 - A crossword that will make you soar, not sore 😀

from Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · host MP

Yesterday's crossword was all about sequels, and today's crossword is itself a sequel — the second for constructor Alex Murphy. That could be coincidence, or it could be another example of Will Shortz's untamable genius: we're betting on the latter. While the foundation of today's crossword was a splendid theme, it was supported by some other great clues. We loved 3D, See 4-Down, HALF, and 4D, Double 3-Down, ONE. The debut at 47D, Some online discounts, EBATES, also tickled our fancy. Finally, we certainly chuckled at 24D, Hold it!, REIN (cute!).Show note imagery: Billy IDOL, who recorded a jaw-droppingly fabulous version of Mony Mony. We love feedback!
