Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Friday,April 25, 2025 - Nothing BLAND in today's grid (except, inevitably, BLAND 😉)

• MP • Season 12 • Episode 80

This was a nice Friday crossword by Adrian Johnson, a bit of a palette cleanser after yesterday's definitely crunchier-than-usual epic. We found some great clues in the puzzle, such as 34A, Passage in a mystery novel?, HIDDENSTAIRCASE (😀); 12D, Light touch from a decorator?, ACCENTLAMP (brilliant, especially when it's turned on 😎); and the very best of the best, 23D, Styles of music, HARRY (😀 😀).

Show note imagery: Bahla Fort, OMAN, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
