Kathy Bloomer, of Seattle, is a retired hospital pediatrician. Constructing crosswords developed out of her love for solving Diagramless puzzles, which involve a similar sort of logic. This is her second Times crossword, after her debut in 2018.
She has had lots of attempts that didn't quite make it. Kathy jokes, "I am working on a book I am going to call ‘Best Puzzles Rejected by The New York Times.'"
