Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Friday, September 26, 2025 - Behold, a business of FERRETS!
Opinions were mixed on today's puzzle. Jean found it to be a large-ish challenge while Mike found more of it in his wheelhouse than usual for a Friday. Both agreed that it was an awesome crossword, though, with some sharp and interesting cluing. For instance, we had 39A, Pet food brand whose name reflects its founding in Allentown, Pa, ALPO; 37A, It gets pumped at a party, KEG; and 3D, It might be on display at Comic-Con, INNERGEEK.
There's more, including a great fun fact about the the largest and heaviest animals. To hear all about it, be sure and download and check out today's episode.
