Tuesday, October 14, 2025 - Contemplating the RIGHTNESS of RIGHTNESS ๐๐
Description
This was an excellent crossword by Stella Zawistowski, her 24th for the NYTimes and her 7th Tuesday. There were some awesome clues in the grid, such as 28D, "A pox on thee!", FIE (a truly excellent insult ๐); 23A, Heavily edit with beauty filters, as a photo, in modern lingo, YASSIFY (how do scholars classify YASSIFY, anyways? ๐); and in retrospect an obvious answer (but a fun one nonetheless), 50D, Country whose national soccer team is nicknamed the Pharaohs, EGYPT.
In addition to our analysis of today's fine opus, we also have an excellent Triplet Tuesdayโข๏ธsegment. Tune in to see if Mike falls flat on his face, or soars to glory (or possibly both!)
