Friday, January 23, 2026 - Designer Geoffrey's favorite question: how ya' been, BEENE? 🙄
Description
In the course of two days we've spanned the experience spectrum. Yesterday's constructor, Joe DiPietro, has published 142 (!) NYTimes crosswords. Today's, Joyce Keller, has published 2, both Fridays, and both excellent.
We covered the best-of-the-best clues in today's episode, but we'd also like to give a shoutout to 37D, Hangouts, HAUNTS (🧐); 51A, Out of joint?, FREE (😀); and 41A,
One may be carried in a concert hall, TUNE (🤣).
Besides the crossword, we have a gem of a Fun Fact Friday™️ segment, featuring the world's RAREST ... wait for it ... gem. 💎 😇
Show note imagery: Geoffrey BEENE, looking sharp!
