Sam Brody, of Brooklyn, is a research scientist and software engineer specializing in Natural Language Processing. This is his fourth crossword (and second Sunday) for The Times.
"The idea for this puzzle's theme started with 79-Across," he says, "but in reverse — the clue was initially the grid entry, and vice versa." Then he realized that solving in the opposite direction would be more fun.

Sam Brody, of Brooklyn, is a research scientist and software engineer specializing in Natural Language Processing. He has been constructing crosswords since 2022. This is his first for The Times.
"A fond memory from childhood," Sam says, "is my grandmother collecting newspaper clippings of ‘Jumble' from the daily newspaper and mailing them to me. I'm sure she'd have been very proud to see this."
