Tuesday, October 27, 2026 — Yes, Everybody's Favorite Extinct Mammoth Is Back ... Er, at Least in the NYTimes Crossword
Description
Today's episode had a few edgier clues, as one might expect when Jeff Chen's name is in the byline. 54A, Deviate from the herd, GOROGUE, comes to mind; 11D, Words said with reservation?, SAVETHEDATE, was equally charming; and 4D, Bygone writing accessory, INKWELL, rendered us overcome with nostalgia, until we thought about just how messy an INKWELL would be IRL, and quickly recovered.
Besides the crossword, we have a terrific Triplet Tuesday™️ episode, for your listening pleasure.
Show note imagery: The world's largest Lincoln Logs cabin, built in 2021 at Timber Moose Lodge, Utah. It took 37,397 Lincoln Logs (!!), and all the proceeds went to charity.
