Did anybody else notice the double “the “ in 14A’s clue? “Where the the Magi journeyed from.” Reminded me of that old optical trick on two lines: “Paris in the / the spring.” Almost thought it was intentional. Possibly an editing snafu for “the three Magi”? I believe this may be the first typo I’ve ever caught in the NYT.

@Antony Serves me right: a typo when pointing out a typo. Should have written: The first typo I’ve spotted in a clue to the NYT crossword puzzle. There are typos galore in the paper, and someone even more waspish and dedicated than me posts them regularly, as many surely know. (@nyttypos) I also noticed after writing my comment that several other people had noticed the typo.
