Sunday, September 20, 2026 —Tracy Gray Shows Off Her Crossword Super Powers

Season 17 Episode 71 Published 13 hours ago
Description

Tracy Gray has had 38 crosswords published in the NYTimes, including 13 Sundays. We'd call today's work a typical TG puzzle, except for the fact that there is no such thing: her creations are all unique. The only thing that they have in common is a bevy of novel clues, and a theme that you probably didn't see coming. We discuss the latter, at length, in today's episode. Just to give you a taste of the former, we present for your consideration 100A, Part of SCOTUS, THE (a fabulous way to clue a somewhat ordinary answer); 103D, State with only three counties: Abbr., DEL (news to us!); and 106D, Star football player?, TEXAN (hike! 😀)

Show note imagery: Nicola Amati, creator of some of the world's finest violins
