I first encountered the New York Times crossword puzzle one Saturday in high school. I scanned the clues and guessed a few answers before putting it away. Years later, my partner, Emily, and her mother — both avid crossword solvers — explained the rules to me, and it was then that I began solving the NYT puzzle regularly. During the pandemic, I started constructing my own crosswords, initially just for friends and family. I loved the challenge of it, and I'm so proud to now have a crossword published in the NYT!
I seeded this puzzle with PALATE CLEANSER, which I thought was a refreshing entry. It took me a while to get the upper left to work out, but once I decided on MAGICAL REALISM as the other long entry, PEOPLE PLEASER and MONOPOLY MONEY fell into place pretty quickly. I hope you enjoy this Friday puzzle!
