Saturday, September 7, 2024 - Why do spammers always call on the heckelphone? 😂

After last Saturday's killer crossword we were hoping that Joel might give us a break, but nooooooo, he still had the pedal to the floor, cruciverbially speaking. There were almost no gimmes in the grid, but a plethora of head scratchers, characteristic of David P. Williams, who has written 5 NYTimes crosswords -- 1 Friday, and the rest -- Saturdays. Definitely tough, definitely worth 5 squares on the JAMCR scale. Show note imagery: a heckelphone, aka an OBOE We love feedback! Send us a text...
