Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Friday, April 18, 2025 - BARBIECORE? That's nothing compared to ... wait for it ... crosswordcore™️!!!!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We are delighted to announce the purely coincidental arrival, on the same day that this fabulous crossword brought us BARBIECORE, of crosswordcore™ -- the rules of which are quite straightforward, and we are very pleased to be able to set forth, for the first time AFAWCT, right here:
- Rule 1: wear and/or decorate with any color you want, as long as it's black or white 😀
- Rule 2: Other than rule 1, pretty much anything goes ... it is a rather laissez-faire core.
The puzzle that inspired crosswordcore was a fine one - Jean breezed through it, Mike euphemistically took his time to contemplate and savor every clue and answer, so that he could truly appreciate the genius of this puzzle's constructors -- Greg Snitkin and Glenn Davis.
Show note imagery: Either the map of a PLAYACTION, or possibly a physics diagram showing the interaction of subatomic particles (but we think the former).
