Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Wednesday, October 8, 2025 - Will you enjoy this crossword? Signs point to yes 🔮
This was an enjoyable Wednesday crossword, with a warm, uplifting, nostalgia-centric theme that both cohosts greatly appreciated.
We were glad to see Jules VERNE in the grid for his 77th time, in 48A, Author of "L'Île Mystérieuse"; we were not at all surprised to see YAOA (Yet Another OREO Answer) at 60D, Double Stuf cookie; and we also appreciated the next clue over, 62A, A 2-1 record has one, LOSS (of course!).
A nice debut by Daniel Trujillo Diaz. Will his second appear before not too long? Outlook good!
