Rafael Musa, of San Francisco, is a software engineer. His favorite kind of crossword to construct is themeless, like this one, because of the freedom it gives him in filling the grid.
This one has only 117 answers — the lowest ever for a Sunday Times puzzle, beating the previous record by one. It's full of long, colorful words and phrases not seen in puzzles before.
It's Rafa's 22nd construction for The Times since 2022.

Randolph Ross, of Manhattan, is a retired high school principal.
When he started constructing crosswords for The Times in 1991, he worked, as nearly everyone did then, by hand on graph paper. Nowadays, crossword software helps him fill the grid. "Coming up with an original theme still gives me the most satisfaction," Randy says. "Writing an original clue also makes me happy."

Trenton Charlson, of Columbus, Ohio, creates a daily online puzzle called Fliptogram. He's a longtime Scrabble aficionado and is currently the highest-rated tournament player in Ohio.
This is Trenton's 38th crossword for The Times. My favorite part of it is 109-Across, which is a double example of the theme.
