Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Tuesday, May 26, 2026 — Oh, c'mon, dismal science, cheer up! 😉
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today's crossword is by Brad Lively, who now has one crossword in each of the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday slots. We're placing our bets that his fourth crossword will be a Friday (but we have absolutely no inside knowledge, promise!). We found Brad's puzzle to be straightforward, but replete with several fascinating factoids that we detail in today's podcast (no spoilers here!).
In today's Triplet Tuesday segment, Mike's in the hot seat ... but not necessarily on fire 😉
Show note imagery: The Invisible Hand of the Free Market, something you'd definitely learn about while studying the dismal science.
