Tuesday, October 11, 2022 - YEET more evidence that the English language continues to evolve!
from Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · host MP
A debut Tuesday crossword by the youngest person ever to get published in the NYTimes, so congrats to Ailee Yoshida, who turns in a splendid Tuesday (regardless of age!). There were a few clues that might've been more familiar to a younger generation (e.g., 58A, Chucked forcefully, in modern lingo, YEETED), but that was offset (and arguably dominated) by clues like 25A, One who's "Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song", in a 1958 hit, ROCKINROBIN. There was some great cluin', um, we mean cluing, throughout the grid, so for all the deets, subscribe, download, listen, and enjoy!We love feedback!
