Saturday, January 17, 2026 - This crossword wasn't merely MKAY, it was parfait 😀 🤣

This was a fun Saturday crossword, which one of our cohosts (Jean) found to be an easy solve whereas the other (by process of elimination, Mike) found to be deucedly difficult. The reasons for both may be found on today's podcast.

A few other artfully-crafted clues that were left on the editing room floor* include 6D, ___ Carlos Jobim, father of the bossa nova, ANTONIO (careful: the music is uber-soothing); 52A, Bracket contents, TEAMS (oh, those kinds of brackets); and 39A, Artificially unsophisticated, FAUXNAIF. 

Show note imagery: ARUBA, the westernmost territory of the Netherlands

*nobody's actually edited video like this since the last century, but is still an evocative phrase
