NYT Daily Crossword - Wednesday, September 30, 2026

Joel Woodford's cheeky Wednesday theme causes quite a racket! THINGS I MISSED: 14A - it seems that most if not all of the places and institutions with this name are named after the island, which was not just a burial ground but also the site of the monastery of St. Columba 20A - the corresponding term for a less-than-half-full moon is just "crescent", nothing fancier 49A - derived from an Old English word meaning "promise" 51A - the plural form actually ends in "-or" 46D - I somehow completely missed the ambiguity of "panels" and "speakers" here
