Saturday, April 11, 2026 — A classy crossword (you can tell: it has MASERATIS in the grid 😀)

Our intrepid cohosts, solving independently as usual, took very different crossword solving journeys in tackling this, Kareem Ayas' tenth NYTimes opus. Jean found it a walk in the park; Mike found it more of a free solo event, in which one false move could be fatal (to his streak 😀). Both cohosts did succeed. Jean's time was quite good; Mike's time was impressive, simply because of the sheer number of digits in it. Deets inside. Show note imagery: Some MASERATIS — we'll take three, please 😀 🤑...
