Thursday, October 8, 2026 — Oh, No, It's an ONO 🐠 😀
Description
Rachel Grey and John Kugelman have collaborated on a very clever Thursday crossword, based on a dizzying theme that it took both cohosts no little time to suss out. Fortunately — and we have proof — one did not need to grok the theme in order to solve the puzzle.
The clues that surrounded the theme were also first-class. There was something very 19th century about 43D, Under a parasol, say, SHADED; something very last century about 33D, "Midnight Cowboy" con man, RATSO; and something very this century, and orthographically suspicious, about 34D, Cringeily cute, TWEE.
