NYT Daily Crossword - Sunday, June 8, 2026

A phenomenal mind-splitting theme from Adam Wagner and Simeon Seigel! THINGS I MISSED: 22A - apparently this is intended as an abbreviation of "Georgia Institute of Technology" 28A - "Education", not "Educators", but close enough 47A - I have seen this in the grid before (formerly known as "Angie's List") 87A - from the Greek "chiasma" = "crossing" 118A - to walk tentatively, like a toddler (of course) 3D - TIL that "but good" is a slangy way of saying "very much so" 8D - "corrida" is actually a bullfight 19D - the volcano is located in northern California, and the beverage line actually started over a century ago with mineral water before moving into carbonated drinks with a ginger ale in 1931 113D - I only remember later that the reason these two go together is the expression "from ___ to nuts", which means "the whole thing" or "from beginning to end"
