Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · 8 ноября 2026 г. · 9 мин

Today's crossword had an ocean of great clues, many of which delivered facts, puns, or in some memorable cases, both. As examples we offer for your inspection 1A, Beetle alternative beginning in 1961, MINICOOPER (who knew?); 47D, Retail chain whose first two letters are the first and last initials of its founder, IKEA (IK, OK); and 35D, U.S. House committee since 1967, ETHICS (now we know). There's more where those came from, and we cover the best of the best in today's episode. Show note imagery: Vince Lombardi, after Green Bay defeated the New York Giants 37-0 (no, that's not a typo!) in the 1961 NFL Championship!!! We love feedback! Send us a text...
