I've been solving crosswords for longer than I can remember, first starting with my family. Over the pandemic/during my freshman year of college, I decided on a whim to join my school newspaper's new crossword section (thank you to all of them!) and I've loved constructing ever since!
I initially made it my goal to construct a themeless puzzle with just one triple stack. Partway through filling, I decided the more, the merrier and created a grid with a triple stack down each side. Finding a clean fill with long answers I liked was tricky, but I'm very happy with the six 15-letter words that ended up in it, especially FREAKINGAWESOME!
The editorial team came up with a significantly better clue for 37-Across than my original clue of the unit, and I'm glad that my examples for 42-Down made the cut. Hope you enjoy!
