About the September 19, 2026 puzzle
An independent answer page credits the puzzle to Joel Fagliano and describes it as a 6×8 grid with 8 Across clues and 10 Down clues. The visible clue list includes “When woolly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers roamed the earth”; a search-result excerpt suggests ICEAGE for that clue, but the answer is not confirmed as strongly as AIRBNB.
Why there is no complete answer key here
The accessible page text shows clue wording, but its answer controls do not expose the full solution. Apart from AIRBNB, the remaining entries are not verified well enough to publish as a complete key. The clue list includes across prompts such as “Father figure?”, “Comedian Samberg,” “Canada’s capital” and “Like the tongues of snakes,” along with down prompts including “Famed opera with over 1,000 performances at the Met” and “In addition.”
