Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Sunday, August 2, 2026 — Today's Crossword Won't Steer You Wrong!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This was an awesome Sunday crossword by Ralph Sharaga (a debut for him) and veteran constructor Doug Peterson (this is his 61st!). The theme was absolutely hysterical, and the rest of the grid glistened with guffaw-inducing clues. Among our favorites were: 14D, Race prior to a race?, REV (delightful); 97A, Safari destinations?, URLS (ha!); and we enjoyed the 180° change of tone in 47D, Opposite of "You'll pay for that!"?, ONME.
Show note imagery: MAE Jemison, the first black astronaut in space, looking fly!
