Tuesday, February 17, 2026 - A 99.9% SNAFU-free crossword 😉
Description
If this crossword was a car, it would be a Bugatti; if it was a watch, it would be a Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime. In short, this was a top-of-the-line Tuesday crossword, built with precision, love, and care, and yet, surprisingly, priced exactly the same as all the other NYTimes crosswords, not a farthing more for that extra pizzazz.
What were some of those pizzazz-y clues, you ask? Our favorite was 35D,Â
Tough-but-loving fathers, informally, PAPABEARS (a debut). Our second (and it was a close second) was 18D, Boot out of Europe?, ITALY 😀; and pulling up the rear was our favorite servant, 61A, "The Addams Family" butler, LURCH.Â
Show note imagery: Knives Out, starring Daniel CRAIG
