The Wisdom of Overthinking

The article reviews a Sunday crossword puzzle by John Kugelman that features a clever theme where solutions are phrases formed by adding a letter to a common term, changing its meaning, with examples like 'classy matey' for 'classmate' and 'fishy hooky' for 'hooky.' The puzzle is praised for its witty clues, creative execution, and challenging yet enjoyable wordplay.
