Saturday, May 9, 2026 — Katie Hoody paints a masterpiece in words 😍

From Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword MP

This was an awe-droppingly good Saturday crossword by Katie Hoody. Each clue, individually, is a work of art in miniature, and collectively, this crossword is simply a work of art. This was, make no mistake about it, a tough crossword: but it was fair, with little to no use of pop culture (Mike's nemesis), just inspiring plays on words. This definitely, positively, pegs the meter on the JAMCR scale — a full 5 squares. Show note imagery: AMYS, one of our favorite pizzas! We love feedback! Send...
