Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Saturday, June 13, 2026 — The MWAHAHA v. BWAHAHA Debate Continues!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This was a highly entertaining Saturday crossword by Ryan McCarty, chockfull of tricky and entertaining clues. For instance, 33D, Is courting out of one's league, so to speak, DATESUP; as avowed Anglophiles we of course appreciated 19A, "Right?," in British lingo, INNIT; and we also appreciated the riddle embedded in 26A, Make it or break it, PAR. All told, we'll add one to Ryan McCarty's Super Saturday tally, and eagerly await his next puzzle.
In addition to the crossword, we have some excellent listener mail about perseverance (and more), so to check all of that out, download, listen up, and enjoy!
Show note imagery: Rare, but not quite obsolete, behold the STAMPPAD!
