Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · 1 ноября 2026 г. · 6 мин

In a highly apt bit of Halloween scheduling — thanks, Will! — today's crossword was built by two of the scariest constructors on the NYTimes' roster, Erik Agard and Brendan Emmett Quigley. Fortunately, they did not put the pedal to the metal today — we'd rate the puzzle as about halfway between the speed of sound and the speed of light. We would also rate it a full and enthusiastic 5 squares on the JAMCR scale, for reasons that we lay out in today's episode. Show note imagery: The magnificent Garden of the Morning Calm, in the Land of the Morning Calm, KOREA. We love feedback! Send us a text... Contact Info: We love listener mail!
