Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Friday, April 18, 2025 - BARBIECORE? That's nothing compared to ... wait for it ... crosswordcore™️!!!!


Listen Later

We are delighted to announce the purely coincidental arrival, on the same day that this fabulous crossword brought us BARBIECORE,  of crosswordcore™ -- the rules of which are quite straightforward, and we are very pleased to be able to set forth, for the first time AFAWCT, right here:

  1. Rule 1: wear and/or decorate with any color you want, as long as it's black or white 😀 
  2. Rule 2: Other than rule 1, pretty much anything goes ... it is a rather laissez-faire core.

The puzzle that inspired crosswordcore was a fine one - Jean breezed through it, Mike euphemistically took his time to contemplate and savor every clue and answer, so that he could truly appreciate the genius of this puzzle's constructors -- Greg Snitkin and Glenn Davis.

Show note imagery: Either the map of a PLAYACTION, or possibly a physics diagram showing the interaction of subatomic particles (but we think the former).
