Saturday, May 25, 2024 - A splendid Saturday solve
Description
This is David P. Williams' fourth NYTimes crossword, and interestingly all four have used the same grid, so apparently DPW has taken the phrase "why mess with success?" to heart. There are some magnificent clues in today's grid, including 47D, Time to take stock?, IPO; 34A, Lover of literature, ROMEO (ha!); and we loved the juxtaposition of 29A, Architects, so to speak, MASTERMINDS, immediately above 31A, Wield influence, PULLSTRINGS, because that's what MASTERMINDS do, and David P.Williams definitely belongs in that category. Definitely 5 squares on the JAMCR scale!
It is also Saturday, and in today's episode we reveal our choice for this week's JAMCOTWA (Jean And Mike Crossword Of The Week Awards)
