Hello! I'm psyched to be making my New York Times debut! I'm 16 years old and a junior in high school.

This grid came about as I was first attempting to construct a themeless puzzle. I've always loved puzzles with long vertical entries, especially stacks, hence this puzzle's design. I seeded it with WHOOPEE CUSHION and I COULD EAT A HORSE — a little testament to my sense of humor and personality. I also love the contemporaneity of SELF-DRIVING CARS, tying the two sides of the puzzle together.

Special shoutouts to my brother Ben for putting me onto making crosswords, to my parents for supporting (most of the time) my crossword obsession, and to my dad for helping with the clueing process.

This puzzle began as most of our collaborations do. Rebecca texted Rachel "CORNHOLE, PICKLEBALL… Is this anything?" Rachel pitched HUNGER GAMES as a revealer, and after extensive debates over whether or not NOODLE JOUST is a real game, we landed on APPLES TO APPLES (Rachel's preferred card game) and CANDY CRUSH (Rebecca's preferred mobile game) to round out the set. As per usual, making the grid was a team effort, and then Rebecca wrote the Across clues and Rachel wrote the Downs.

We are also thrilled to announce that These Puzzles Fund Abortion 4, which Rachel co-edits and to which Rebecca contributed a puzzle (in collaboration with Adam Wagner!) is currently available for presale. If you donate before March 15, you'll receive the pack when it's released on Friday, but donations will be accepted through the end of May.

Happy PI DAY everyone!

As an engineering student with an affinity for all things math, I've been thinking about making a PI DAY puzzle for a while. I'm glad to see this one come to fruition. A lot of things had to go right to make the puzzle work, and at every step of the construction process it felt like the puzzle was meant to be.

One of the challenges in constructing a puzzle like this is balancing the relatively low amount of theme content with engaging fill to keep the solving experience interesting, especially for an undersized grid with a constrained block pattern. I did my best to treat it as a themeless and maximize longer entries where possible. It's definitely a puzzle unlike any others I've ever constructed, but hopefully in a way that solvers will enjoy. You'll have to be the judge of that.

Have a great Thursday and enjoy some pie for PI DAY!

I'd like to tell you some insider process things about how I constructed this puzzle. But I can't. Because I don't remember much about making it. To tell the truth, I remember less and less about more and more. Like when I go from the living room to the bedroom with purpose, only to find that seconds later I don't remember why I'm there.

I do remember having the idea of doing a progression theme for a Monday. So there's that. As any constructor knows, you've got to be brutal in rejecting non-Monday material from your grid. I'm generally satisfied with this puzzle in that regard, although KRONA hasn't appeared on a Monday since 2009. Apologies if that gave you any trouble, but getting better at crosswords is a long process of not knowing stuff followed by then knowing said stuff. In that sense, you're welcome.

Where am I? What was I saying?

I'll be an official at the ACPT coming up April 5-7. If you're there, I'd love the chance to say hello. Finally, I'd like to offer Will Shortz my best wishes for a speedy recovery. Puzzles today bear little resemblance to puzzles before Will came on the scene. I offer him my deepest thanks for his stewardship of our beloved pastime.

As a math person, I am very happy that my first NYT puzzle has a numbers theme. I had originally used "numeronyms" as a revealer, but the editorial team thought it best to leave it out in favor of more numeronyms, which I admit works much better. For those of you trying to have a puzzle accepted, keep at it. I submitted several puzzles, most of which were (quite rightly) rejected. The theme of this one appealed to the editors, and while the finished product bears little resemblance to the original submission, eventually, with much patience and guidance from Tracy Bennett, here we are. Thank you, Tracy.

Thanks to my college friends for getting me into the NYT crossword in the first place. And lastly, I dedicate this puzzle to Mike, for his encouragement and for his years of putting up with all my puzzling.

Mansi Kothari: I've been an avid crossword solver since I was a high schooler, when my dad used to bring the printed puzzle home from the paper, with photocopies for each family member. It's a dream come true to be published as a constructor.

HUGE shoutout to my collaborator, Erik Agard, for being such a patient and supportive mentor. My favorite part of the construction process is cluing, and Erik helped me a lot with navigating the technical aspects of some of the earlier phases, such as grid layout and fill (and also reined in some of my crazy clues). He's a very conscientious constructor who taught me to consider the social relevance and impact of my puzzle.

Some of the clues I'm most proud of in this puzzle are:

Moved cross-country?
Winter coat
July birthday celebrant
PowerPoint, perhaps
Go clubbing?
Ring bearer?

I hope this is the start of a long-lived construction journey. Enjoy!

Erik Agard: I'm so honored to be a part of Mansi's NYT debut, and it was so fun to make! Mansi is a dream collaborator, and I admire her fill sensibilities and her diabolical mind for cluing. Looking forward to solving many more of her puzzles!

As for me, I'm (sporadically) on Twitter at @e_a_rly - drop me a line!

This puzzle was inspired by Rebecca Goldstein's Simile Irresistible. The ambiguity of hidden punctuation and spacing in crosswords is so delightful. I had the entry CLEAR AS CRYSTAL stuck in my head for months like a Top 40 earworm. It would pop up at random moments. "Clear, as crystal" ... "Clear, as crystal" ... "Clear, as crystal".

To develop the theme set, I wrote a Python script to list phrases with potential ___'S words. It wasn't what anyone would call smart: it spit out 70,000 some candidate entries. I spent hours a night reading through them all. What a slog. After a week I'd collected 162 maybe-usable entries in my spreadsheet. Boy, I tell you, 162 out of 70,000 is just a miserably low hit rate. But hey, you can't make an omelet without cracking tens of thousands of eggs.
