Wednesday, January 17. 2024 - Morton J. Mendelson had a (b)right idea 😀
from Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · host MP
A fine Wednesday crossword by Morton J. Mendelson, and to answer the question raised in the grid, yes, ITISART: artfully designed, wittily clued, and with an astonishing number of themed clues. We were also delighted to see echoes of yesterday's stellar crossword crop up today - Tuesday revolved around ONEL, while today we had 59D, Top-notch, AONE. Tuesday involved the letter L, while today's crossword involved a lot of right angles (fundamentally an L that went head over heels). Show note imagery: EDITH Wharton, author of the Pulitzer winning novel, The Age of Innocence, and the first woman to win a Pulitzer in fiction.We love feedback!
