Wednesday, January 7, 2026 - EPIC or ACK? You be the judge!

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

Our co-hosts had almost comically differing experiences solving today's crossword. Jean found it to be ... a breeze, whereas Mike found it to be a category 5 hurricane, which he will dub Hurricane Adrianne, after the creator of said hurricane, er, puzzle, Adrianne Baik. Apparently Adrianne was able to quickly and remotely rifle through Mike's memory palace (more like a memory shanty, but nvm), identify everything he didn't know, and then put it into a crossword. Well played, Adrianne!For all the deets of what turned out to be a walk in the park  / EPIC cruciverbial battle, subscribe, download, listen up, and enjoy today's episode!Show note imagery: HELLOKITTY!. We love feedback!
