About this episode
This was a fine Tuesday crossword by Adam Aaronson, with a subtle theme and a subtler revealer. We were surprised to see, among the 6 debut answers in today's puzzle, 24A, Fender Stratocaster, e.g., ELECTRICGUITAR, and 12D, Festivals often featuring jousting knights, for short, RENFAIRES. We just assumed that, for a crossword that came into existence in 1942, by now someone would have worked these two into the grid β€” but no, it took Adam to make it happen.In addition to the crossword, also have our Triplet Tuesdayℒ️ segment. Jean's in the hot seat, so tune in to see how she fares.Show note imagery: LiMu EMU and Doug, mascots for Liberty MutualWe love feedback! Send us a text...Contact Info:We love listener mail!
