Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Tuesday, November 11, 2025 - Happy Veteran's Day!


Listen Later

This is the second Christina Iverson - Scott Hogan collaboration, and the first NYTimes crossword ever to include WORCESTERSHIRE as an answer. It usually takes us several takes before we can pronounce the word, and even more before we can spell it. We enjoyed 52A, Copenhagen's "The Little Mermaid", for one, STATUE (which for all the attention it gets, is surprisingly short); we had a blast from the (very recent) past, 53D, "You talkin' _______?", TOME; and finally 33D, "I so did not need to hear that!", EWW (not, as we originally surmised, TMI);

Show note imagery: The Little Mermaid, in all her The-Little-Mermaid-iousness of it all.
