Thursday, August 7, 2025 - No DROSS in today's grid ... er, other than DROSS 🙄

This was a splendid crossword by Ben Zimmer. There were no rebuses, but the ingenious theme was a surprise and a delight. We give it a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale, and for the reasons why, have a listen to today's episode.

A logistical note: we are going to be taking Friday and Saturday off, due to anticipated connectivity issues. But we will, of course, be doing the crossword, and will be back to talk about our cruciverbial exploits on Sunday.

Show note imagery: The Minceta Tower (Dubrovnik) in CROATIA, the real home of the Game of Thrones
