Lost in the Cross

Two women (E & M) spending their 20s doing the crossword
(Semi) daily reviews of the NYT crossword

[Lost in the Cross @lostinthecross]

Hi there! We’re E and M, two women in their mid-20s with strong thoughts on the crossword. We started doing the crossword together in college and have kept going ever since.
We try to review the NYT and/or the LA Times/Washington Post crossword every day

But hey! This puzzle acknowledges THEY “___/them pronouns” (13D) and POT BROWNIES (10D “Baked things that might get people baked”) so what’s not to love? 14/
