Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Sunday, September 21, 2025 - A crossword that melts in your mouth, not in your hand 😀

A rebus -- for those of you new to the crossword-solving realm -- is a square containing more than one letter. Rebuses come in several varieties; in today's crossword we have two words per square, one intended to be read horizontally, the other vertically. 

Spotting rebuses is a bit of an art. Usually the tip-off is when the answer that you know, absolutely, positively, is correct ... but it won't fit. When that happens, it's time to fire up the ol' rebus key (if you're solving on the app), or print smaller (if you're solving on paper). 

Today's rebus celebrated a candy bar first made in York, England, and if you don't know it by now, you will shortly once you've checked out today's podcast (or done the crossword).

Show note imagery: Some LACROSSE players, um, lacrosseing? 🙄
