NYT Daily Crossword - Sunday, July 12, 2026

Collin Drown means no offense with this sharp Sunday debut! THINGS I MISSED: 41A - actually, this is a small island formed on top of a coral reef, so shouldn't the clue be "reef formation" or something like that? 50A - I don't know where I got that random incorrect fact; this is in fact the capital of the province of West Flanders 62A - pronounced similarly to "Owen" 113A - it's the one where you lift yourself past two parallel grip bars 5D - this is a term for golfers with handicap of zero or lower 75D - Organization of the Petroleum-Exporting Companies (I was not even close)
