Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Friday, January 16, 2026 - All hail APOLLOVII!! πŸš€ πŸ§‘πŸΌβ€πŸš€

β€’ MP β€’ Season 15 β€’ Episode 35

This was a great cruciverbial workout by Kyle T. Dolan, whose crosswords tend to be on the challenging side, with 11 of his 19 NYTimes puzzles appearing on Friday or Saturday. The clues today were deviously clever, yet oddly obvious in hindsight. We have all the deets inside, plus a Fun Fact Fridayℒ️ segment celebrating one of the great leviathans of the deep (but no, not that leviathan, the other one πŸ˜‰). 

Show note imagery: From l. to r., APOLLOVII astronauts Donn Eisele, Wally Schirra, and Walter Cunningham
