Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Saturday, July 5, 2025 - Tracy Bennett strikes again!


Listen Later

Tracy Bennet is the driving force behind both Wordle and Strands, and the appearance of this crossword therefore means that an impressively large percentage of today's NYTimes games are attributable to her. Jean found this crossword to be a bit on the crunchy side whereas Mike -- for some unfathomable reason that he attributes to a surfeit of neutrinos -- did not. Both agreed, however, that it was an excellent example of the genre.

Fun Fact Friday™️ took the day off yesterday, and even though Fun Fact Saturday doesn't have quite the same alliterative power, it is in today's episode, so be sure and check that out.

Show note imagery: YANN Tiersen, an adept and highly versatile French musician, known for his stunning film scores.

Show note URL: Uncanny Valley
