Wednesday, July 8, 2026 — Holy Moley, It's Another Debut Crossword!
Description
This was Mason Hyunjin-Lee's first ever NYTimes crossword, especially impressive since he's still in high school! Here's hoping his English teacher gives bonus points, he deserves it. We recommend 1 bonus point for 23A, Low-quality synthetic images, informally, AISLOP; 2 bonus points for 66A, Mother of a stable family?, MARE (ha!); and — we're in a generous mood — a whopping 4 bonus points for 28D, "Sleep is like a ___: It only comes to you if you ignore it": Gillian Flynn, CAT. Well done, Mason!!
Show note imagery: Tarsiers, who feel some weird compulsion to always vote AYE when asked for their opinion 😀Â
