Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Sunday, March 1, 2026 - In like a 🦁, out like a 🐑
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Some of the NYTimes' finest crosswords were created by university students. For example, consider, oh, say, today's, by Western University students Matt Proulx and Jeffrey Martinovic. The theme is slick (which should resonate as hilarious as soon as you've sussed out that theme), the grid very colorful, and the clues perfect for a Sunday, with just a bit of bite. For instance, we had 28D, Nurse, SIP; 38D, They might be head-scratching, FINGERNAILS (and indeed, we were!); and 29A, Is in Montreal?, EST (bien sûr, c'est manifique!)
