After filling in more commonly recognized French and Spanish words across various puzzles, it was nice to see my parents’ native Cantonese represented in POPO (婆婆). I would love to see a crossword in homage to terms of endearment for grandparents around the world. Too niche? Thanks for the fun, Malaika!

For those familiar with the long-standing beef between them, do you know how many times JA RULE has appeared in the crossword compared to 50 Cent? I guess it would more difficult to input the latter given the numeric part of his name.

Thank you, Glass Animals, for singing Hakeem OLAJUWON in your song "The Other Side of Paradise". I don't follow basketball and wouldn't have gotten the SE corner filled otherwise.

Love that RABBI contains the hilarious and wonderful ABBI Jacobson today, as I was just watching old episodes of Broad City. It's doubly fitting as Ms. Jacobson is also Jewish.
