Adam Wagner, of Oakland, Calif., is a creative lead at Patreon, the crowdfunding site for content creators. Michael Lieberman, of Washington, D.C., is an attorney at Fairmark Partners, a consumer-protection firm.

They're also both dads of fast-growing toddlers, which is what inspired this puzzle. Adam sent the title to Mike, who sent back what became 3- and 13-Down … and they were off and running.

Garrett Chalfin, of New York City, is a first-year student at the University of Chicago, taking classes in biology, "Human Being and Citizen" and "Classics of Social and Political Thought."

This puzzle was a long time in the making. He thought of the theme idea over a year ago, then kept coming back to it until he felt he had it just right. Garrett writes, "I love subtle themes that slowly emerge to the solver."

Rich Katz, of Park City, Utah, does freelance work in corporate restructuring. This is his third crossword for The Times — all Sundays. The puzzle started when Rich was ruminating on the expression, "Two wrongs don't make a right." One thing led to another, then another. This punny puzzle was the result. Rich does all his constructing at home on a table overlooking a gorgeous Rocky Mountain vista.

Jeff Chen is a writer in Seattle and a frequent crossword contributor to The Times. Juliana Tringali Golden is an editor in Oakland, Calif., making her fourth appearance here.

The idea for this puzzle was Juliana's. She says she always wanted to create a crossword with a doughnut theme, and when Jeff showed her some blank grids he'd made with interesting patterns, this one, with a torus shape in the middle, "screamed ‘doughnut' to me!"

Sid Sivakumar is an M.D./Ph.D. student at Washington University in St. Louis, training in biomedical engineering and neuroscience. This is his 16th crossword for The Times since 2020.

Sid says his favorite theme ideas come to him randomly, like when he's sitting in traffic, cutting vegetables or showering. Because of his work/study schedule, he constructs puzzles in segments. "If I haven't made satisfactory progress in 30 minutes, I pause and do something else."

Jeffrey Lease, of Granite Bay, Calif., designs printed circuit boards for cellphones at Google. He writes, "The process of designing a board and getting all the connections to fit is its own type of puzzle, so perhaps it's not surprising that my job and hobby overlap." Crosswords are his favorite puzzles to do, but he's also a fan of Wordle and Connections.

This is Jeff's first crossword for The Times. Another has been accepted and he's already working on a third.

Joel Fagliano and Christina Iverson are puzzle editors for The Times. Joel lives in Philadelphia, Christina in Ames, Iowa. They both have young kids and a fondness for "dumb jokes," as Joel puts it.

Christina writes, "We were in the middle of a brainstorm for a totally different Sunday puzzle when we'd hit a wall and Joel messaged me with this theme idea. Every step was collaborative, with a lot of back and forth in DMs, shared documents, and conversations over Google Meet."

Jill Rafaloff, of Forest Hills, Queens, and Michelle Sontarp, of Manhattan, met when they joined the same law firm directly out of law school more than 30 years ago. They've been friends ever since.

Jill has been solving crosswords since college, Michelle for six years or so. The two began constructing during the pandemic. This is their New York Times debut. The inspiration for the puzzle was 34-Across.

Adam Wagner, of Oakland, Calif., is a creative lead at Patreon, a monetization platform for content creators. This is his 16th crossword for The Times (and fifth Sunday).

Adam is part of a large community of Bay Area puzzlemakers. He speculates that the overlap between tech and crossword construction might be the reason for the concentration. Or maybe it's just something in the water?

Rich Katz, of Park City, Utah, does freelance work in corporate restructuring.

This is his second crossword for The Times, following The Final Frontier in January. That puzzle had answers like DEATH EATER reinterpreted as D.E.A. THEATER ("Staging of a narc sting?") and PARK AVENUE as PARKA VENUE ("Iditarod, for one?"). For both puzzles, Rich's computer-savvy son searched databases for phrases that Rich could use as examples of his themes' wordplay.

Michael Schlossberg is an internist in Bend, Ore., who's been making crosswords for The Times since 2020. He says he got the idea for this one while thinking about the books he read to his kids when they were little. He tried to get all the circles in the puzzle to line up, but that proved to be impossible.

Michael says his favorite part of constructing is converting a theme idea into a completed grid — "more fun and challenging than actual solving."

Manaal Mohammed is a junior at M.I.T. studying computer science.

This is her first crossword for The Times. It started when she saw the phrase [27-Across] and thought that was an apt way to describe mac 'n' cheese. The grid is full of references with personal significance. Manaal is from the 7-Down area. Her mother uses 14-Down to make rotis. Her older sister used to be obsessed with 23-Downs. And her dad keeps a 41-Across interview stuck on the family refrigerator.

John Kugelman is a software engineer and musician from Gainesville, Va. His father, who turns 80 this year, is a sounding board for John's puzzle ideas and John finds that brainstorming with him is a great way to stay connected. "Every time I see him we throw around all kinds of wordplay, just spitballing and letting our minds roam."

This is John's first crossword for The Times. It grew out of 38-Across.

Chandi Deitmer, of Cambridge, Mass., is an editor for Elevate Labs, a brain-training app. Her crosswords have appeared in The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, The New Yorker, The Atlantic and numerous "indie" outlets.

This is her fourth puzzle for The New York Times — all Sundays. Her starting point for it was 58-Across. Chandi says, "I love the space a Sunday puzzle affords to be playful."

Michael Schlossberg is an internist in Bend, Ore. He's been making puzzles for The Times since 2020.

Eugene T. Maleska, the Times's crossword editor from 1977 to 1993, famously had 40 rejections from the old New York Herald Tribune before his first submission was accepted back in the day. Michael says he had 50 rejections of Sunday puzzles from us before he got a yes. That must set some sort of record for perseverance.

Christina Iverson, of Ames, Iowa, is an assistant puzzle editor for The Times. She reviews crossword submissions and helps edit the accepted ones for publication. This puzzle started as an 11 x 11-square grid in which every clue was an emoji. When that didn't work out, she revised and expanded her idea into what you see here.

Christina says, "I had hoped to convince someone to draw the pictures for me, but had no luck, so I drew them all myself."

Rebecca Goldstein, of Albany, Calif., is a research scientist at Merck, developing immunotherapies for cancer. Rafael Musa, of San Francisco, is a software engineer at Airbnb. Each has been published individually in The Times, but this is their first collaboration.

As friends they see each other occasionally at Bay Area puzzle events and otherwise. They worked separately, though, through many different versions, to implement this crossword's ambitious theme.

John Westwig is a software engineer in Seattle. He got into crosswords when he was very young, solving Games magazine on car trips with his family. Constructing came soon after. He sold his first puzzle to The Times in 2015, when he was 17.

This is his eighth (and first Sunday). "Lots of friends do the Times puzzle," John writes, "but most complain that mine are too hard."

Joe DiPietro owns the bar "one-star" in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Its website self-deprecatingly calls it "a dingy hole on a deadish street" (but it gets 4.5 stars on Yelp).

This is Joe's 137th crossword for The Times since 1995. He began it after seeing 46-Across on a food package and thinking, hmm. Joe says, "I will never not love coming up with theme ideas and filling grids."

Sam Ezersky is the digital puzzles editor for The Times. Besides helping with the crossword, he oversees other daily Times games like Spelling Bee and Letter Boxed.

This themeless grid (Sam's favorite kind to make) is his 40th construction for the paper. It has only 118 answers — the lowest word count in Sunday Times history. Nearly a quarter of the answers have never appeared in a Times puzzle before. Sam likes challenges. When you see his byline, he wants you to think, "Oh boy, time to buckle up!"

Rafael Musa, of San Francisco, is a software engineer at Airbnb. This is his third crossword for The Times.

The idea for it came from a giant 57/58-Across at the intersection of Castro and Market in San Francisco. "I was stuck at a light looking at it and thought — could this be a crossword puzzle? Turns out, yes, it can!" He adds, "This one is very special to me as it's running 10 years, almost to the day, after I came out for the first time."

Robert Ryan, of London, is an economist for the U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority. He lives 10 minutes by foot from the 21-Across. This is his second crossword for The Times, after his debut in March.

Having grown up on cryptics, Robert is fond of tricky clues. His favourite (as he would spell it) in this puzzle is 78-Across. "As long as the clues are fair, I find hard ones more satisfying as a solver."

Sid Sivakumar is an M.D./Ph.D. student at Washington University in St. Louis. This is his 15th crossword for The Times in three years.

He likes theme ideas and clues that are challenging but not forced. When you figure something out, he wants you to say, "Of course!," not "Uh ... OK, I get it." When possible, Sid includes South Asian references in his puzzles, as in the clue for 111-Down here.

Mike Hobin is a real estate agent and property developer in Chicago. While at home during the pandemic, he watched the 2006 documentary "Wordplay," about crosswords, and was inspired to try constructing one himself. Two years and two dozen submissions later, he's making his debut.

The seed of this puzzle was 116-Across. Then he thought of 24-Across … "and it really felt like I was on to something."

John Ewbank is a British science writer from Macclesfield, near Manchester. He regularly composes cryptic crosswords for The Times of London, but lately has been trying American-style crosswords.

This is his third for us. The theme is examples of anapodoton (an-uh-POH-duh-tahn), a rhetorical device you probably use yourself but never knew there was a name for. Well, now you'll know.

David Karp, of Victoria, British Columbia, is a civil servant who works on economic policy for his provincial government.

This was his second attempt at building a puzzle around 119-Across, which is his favorite band. The first attempt, in a themeless grid, didn't work out because the fill wasn't flashy enough. But here the band's name sets up some clever thematic wordplay, which is even better … and you don't need to know anything about the band to get it.

Robert Ryan, of London, is an economist for the U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority. He grew up in Ireland, where he used to sit on his father's knee and "help" him solve the cryptic crossword in the back of a television guide. He subscribed to The New York Times in 2020 for its election coverage and soon got hooked on the crossword, which he now does every day.

This is Robert's first puzzle for the paper.

John-Clark Levin, of Ojai, Calif., is a Ph.D. student at Cambridge, in England, studying how governments can better anticipate the impacts of artificial intelligence.

In his spare time, he does stage magic and stand-up comedy. With a partner, he once held the Guinness world record for the "longest continuous handshake" — 15+ hours. That's even longer than it took him to make this puzzle.

Will Nediger, of London, Ontario, is a professional crossword constructor. This is his 46th puzzle for The Times.

A typical Sunday crossword has 140 answers, but this one has only 136, affording some longer "fill" outside of the theme. Occasionally, as here, constructors include things personal to them in their grids. Will writes, "As a parent of two young kids, 49-Down next to 50-Down really resonates with me."

Christina Iverson, of Ames, Iowa, is an assistant crossword editor for The New York Times. Sam Donaldson is a law professor at Georgia State University. They met at last year's American Crossword Puzzle Tournament and started brainstorming theme ideas.

This one started as a Thursday puzzle and grew into a Sunday when they had too many ideas to fit into a 15 x 15-square grid.

Jeremy Newton, of Austin, Tex., is an engineering manager for mobile games at SciPlay. He's been making crosswords for The Times since 2008.

He says this one is a special accomplishment, because the idea for it has been kicking around since 2010. He finally managed to find a consistent theme set he was happy with. While creating the puzzle he mumbled a lot. You'll soon see why.

Michael Schlossberg is a doctor at St. Charles Medical Center, in Bend, Ore., specializing in internal medicine. He started constructing crosswords in 2018 after reading the series "How to Make a Crossword Puzzle" on The New York Times's website.

This is his sixth puzzle for the paper and his first Sunday. The idea for it came to him after he heard the answer at 121-Across in conversation and thought, I bet there's a literature-themed puzzle in there.

Adam Wagner, of Oakland, Calif., is a creative lead at Patreon, the crowdfunding site for content creators. Michael Lieberman is an attorney in Washington, D.C. Rafael Musa, of San Francisco, is a software engineer at Airbnb. They met through crossword posts on Twitter and now play on the same team in a weekly Zoom trivia night.

John Martz is a cartoonist, illustrator and book designer in Toronto, Ontario, who specializes in picture books and graphic novels for kids.

This is his first published crossword. He found that constructing it was akin to composing a page of comics. "The processes share a similar choreography of boxes and words and visual design."

In the past he's created an end-of-year crossword for co-workers. This puzzle, coincidentally, grew out of last year's.

Ryan McCarty, of Washington, D.C., is a principal consulting manager at a firm specializing in data/analytics for federal clients. He is also a baritone in multiple vocal ensembles.

This is his 23rd crossword for The Times, and his first Sunday. All but one of these puzzles have been themeless, like today's. To construct it, Ryan started in the middle and built outward, weaving lots of fresh, lively vocabulary. Twenty of the answers have never appeared in a Times crossword before.
