Just found this podcast a couple of weeks ago & have really been enjoying it. Nothing fancy, just going through todayβs NYT crossword. Love the banter between the 2 hosts & find Mikeβs frequency stats very interesting. Thanks for making it not too short (or too long!) & keep up the good work
Enjoy your podcast very much. It has helped me to get better at solving. Thanks for sharing your love of the puzzle.
Thank you for an entertaining 20 minutes every day.

I find myself looking up the words myself because a lot of them are words I didnβt know before. :) I also find myself guessing along with you guys during the game portion. I donβt know who writes those but they are always amazing. Jean
