Laura Taylor Kinnel is a math teacher and the director of studies at a Friends boarding school in Newtown, Pa. This is her fifth crossword for The Times.

Last New Year's Eve, when Laura got together with some wordplay-loving friends via Zoom, she gave them words from a working version of this puzzle, for which some of the celebrants suggested clues. I wonder if they'll remember any of them now.

Chase Dittrich, formerly of Los Angeles, is a senior program manager for Amazon in Seattle. Jeff Chen, also of Seattle, is a writer and professional crossword constructor.

Chase created his first puzzles by hand for fellow Marines while deployed in Afghanistan in 2012. He took up constructing seriously more recently. Chase came up with the idea for this puzzle and then workshopped it with Jeff.

Jeff Kremer is a management consultant for KPMG in Chicago. His initial interest in crosswords was sparked by his parents, who were journalists and avid solvers. But it was his wife, who "obsesses over her solving streak and times," who inspired him to start constructing.

Jeff thinks this ad-themed puzzle — his first — is nicely timed for the Sunday between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, as we all become flooded with sales pitches for the holidays.

Adam Wagner, of Oakland, Calif., is a senior copywriter for an ad agency in San Francisco. He got interested in crossword constructing a few years ago after he saw puzzles by some of his former Brown University classmates appearing in The Times.

The idea for this one came to him one night when he was in bed ("second only to the shower in terms of where my best ideas come"). He got up and spent the rest of the night finding theme examples.

In his spare time, he constructs and edits crosswords, including The Juggernaut Crossword, aimed at the South Asian diaspora.

This themeless puzzle is Sid's 10th for The Times. To make it, he started at 92-Across ("which has great letters"), stacked two long answers on top of that, and worked his way up.

Katie Hale, originally from Houston, is now a stay-at-home mom in London. She and a friend run the Reading Network, an organization that finds new homes for used children's books. A lifelong devotee of both crosswords and sports ("I can happily watch about any sport"), she set out to make a sports-themed puzzle that would be accessible to nonsports fans.

This is Katie's third Times crossword and first solo Sunday

Brandon Koppy works for a digital ad agency in Austin, Tex. He started solving crosswords about 20 years ago in college, doing the ones in The Onion and New York Times reprints in the student paper. He got serious about constructing around 2018.

The theme for this puzzle occurred to him when he stumbled across an old poster for the movie "Clue" and thought, hmm, that could work for a puzzle title.

Trenton Charlson, 25, is a full-time crossword constructor in Columbus, Ohio. He loves words with unusual letter combinations, like 63-Across here, which he's been trying to use in a puzzle for years. He says, "I value the sort of ‘x-factor' that makes a puzzle feel playfully and distinctly ‘human'" — the fill included.

With advanced crossword software and databases available now even to first-time constructors, it takes special effort, like Trenton's, to display a personal style.

Peter Gordon is a puzzlemaker and editor from Great Neck, N.Y. He has been a puzzle editor for Games magazine, Sterling Publishing and the bygone New York Sun. Since 2010 he has edited Fireball Crosswords, a 45-times-a-year online-only super-challenger.

One of Peter's bugaboos as a constructor is partial phrases — multiword answers that would ordinarily require fill-in-the-blank clues (like "Getting ___ years" for ON IN). He hates them. You won't find any of them here.

Grant Thackray (rhymes with "daiquiri") recently moved from Oregon to Los Angeles, "hopefully to find a job in animation — either storyboarding or character design." He got started constructing crosswords after seeing the 2006 documentary "Wordplay" and thinking "I could do that." The idea for this one came while he was restocking wood for a campfire.

It's Grant's ninth Times puzzle and third Sunday.

Dory Mintz, of the Bronx, is a software engineer for a digital marketing company, Wunderkind. He likes to bowl (recently rolling a career-high 218) and calls himself "a passionate albeit subpar Scrabble player." He was reading an old art textbook when the phrase at 33-Across jumped into his head, and a crossword theme idea was born.

This is his second puzzle, and first Sunday, for The Times.

Stephen McCarthy, a native of Vancouver Island, B.C., is a Ph.D. student studying transportation modeling in Stockholm, Sweden. He got his start in puzzles by solving cryptic crosswords with his grandfather in Toronto's Globe and Mail. Last year he began constructing American-style puzzles, incorporating some of the wordplay sensibility of cryptics in his themes and clues. This is a good example.

Stephen's last Times crossword was Maple Leaf in June.

Christina Iverson, of Ames, Iowa, is a stay-at-home mom with two young kids. Jeff Chen is a writer and professional crossword constructor in Seattle. This puzzle's theme started with the vague concept of moving pieces and morphed from dominoes to magnets and finally to jigsaws ("all interests of my son," Christina says).

This is the pair's second Sunday collaboration.

Matthew Stock, who turns 25 this month, works for a math education nonprofit in East St. Louis, Ill. The idea for this puzzle came about in January, when he was on a cross-country road trip and passed a Honda Odyssey. He reinterpreted the name as "Honda odyssey" (small "o"), which aptly described what he was on. That bit of wordplay didn't make it into this puzzle, but similar ones with other brand names did.

This is Matthew's sixth Times crossword, and his second Sunday.

Chandi Deitmer, of Somerville, Mass., is a social worker in the fields of psychiatry and geriatrics. She got hooked on crosswords in college via the puzzles in The Onion (which was only in print in those days). She started constructing a year or two ago, mainly for "indie" venues. This is her New York Times debut.

The puzzle has a multilayered theme, whose subject is indicated by the designs in the grid.

Jesse Goldberg is a software engineer in San Francisco. Last year, finding himself between jobs, he tackled a big project he'd been thinking about for 30 years — creating an app to assist in designing and filling crossword grids. The result, Crosserville, is available online (free for now). Jesse isn't the first person to build a crossword construction app, but his is a highly versatile one.

This is Jesse's second puzzle for The Times.

Ashish Vengsarkar, of Scotch Plains, N.J., is the head of Optical Networking Technologies at Google. Besides puzzles, he enjoys playing raga and table tennis. (He and I have a longstanding annual rivalry in the latter.)

The seed entry of this puzzle was 10-Down, which came to Ashish while he was at the dentist's. The symmetrical pairing of 36- and 40-Down (a favorite artist of his during college) was fortuitous.

Howard Barkin, of Hillsborough, N.J., is a software quality assurance specialist. He has been making crosswords for The Times since 2014.

The theme of this one started when he was driving one day and 15-Down "randomly came to mind" — which maybe reveals something about Howard psychologically? (Solve the puzzle to see.) But don't judge. Traffic in New Jersey can be vicious.

Michael Lieberman is an appellate attorney in Washington, D.C., currently on parental leave after the birth of his first child.

Although this puzzle isn't Father's Day-themed, he says it's nice that his first Sunday puzzle will run on his first Father's Day as a father. About five years ago he and his wife started solving the Sunday Times crossword together, first on paper, then on a tablet. Michael now does the Times puzzle every day. His wife, though, favors the Spelling Bee.

Stephen McCarthy, originally from Vancouver Island, B.C., is a Ph.D. student studying transportation modeling in Stockholm, Sweden. He made this puzzle last September, about a month after moving. "I was homesick, and this was a way of connecting to my home." In his spare time, Stephen plays Ultimate Frisbee, sings in the Stockholm Gay Chorus, and makes and solves crosswords.

This is his first published puzzle.

Robyn Weintraub, of Rye Brook, N.Y., is active in local politics and the League of Women Voters. She started solving crosswords 12 years ago. After a few months, she bought some crossword software as a birthday gift for herself and has been constructing ever since.

This is her 35th puzzle for The Times. Robyn's specialty is themeless ones (like this), with colorful, conversational entries and very little obscurity or junk. Oh, and she loves twisty clues. (You've been warned.)

Adam Wagner, of Oakland, Calif., is a senior copywriter for an ad agency in San Francisco. He says his real No. 1 job, though, as of about two months ago, is being a first-time dad.

Adam solves the Times crossword aloud every night with his son cuddled next to him — "so I imagine he's one of the few people alive who can claim that he literally has a lifelong New York Times crossword solving streak."

Jennifer Nebergall, of Boulder, Colo., is a former finance director at the University of Colorado. She started doing crosswords several years ago as a weekly tradition over Sunday brunch with her husband. Since the birth of their baby, though, they shifted to doing them during naptime. Jennifer writes, "Having spent my career in finance and analytics, this theme appealed to my dual loves of math and wordplay."

It is Jennifer's crossword debut.

Joe DiPietro, of Brooklyn, owns a bar called "one star" in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. He previously owned a bar called "No Idea," which made a confusing answer to the question "Where do you want to go tonight?"

As a crossword constructor, he hates partial phrases (answers like TUG OF and IF I) and grids with "S" in the lower-right corner. This puzzle has neither of those.

Brad Wiegmann is a national security lawyer for the Department of Justice in Washington. He dedicates this puzzle to his mother, "a voracious reader, talented knitter, mahjong maven and all-round supermom." He says he's never personally seen any of the musical artists named in the puzzle's theme clues, but he did once attend a 23-Across concert.

Brad's last Times puzzle, Crossword Buff appeared in February.

Dan Schoenholz, of Walnut Creek, Calif., is the community development director for the city of Fremont. Like many crossword constructors, he got his start after watching the 2006 documentary "Wordplay." The idea for this puzzle occurred to him one day when he was running on a trail that crossed a creek, and he thought of the clue and answer at 23-Across. Back home he searched an online crossword database and found that his theme idea was new.

This is Dan's 26th puzzle for The Times.

Johan Vass is a restaurant worker in Stockholm, Sweden. Though he has never been to the United States, he has been solving American crosswords for many years. He says his personal best times for New York Times puzzles range from 3:21 on a Monday to 10:36 on a Sunday.

Somewhere along the way he started constructing crosswords in English — which is quite a challenge for someone coming from another language and culture. Johan says this one took him two months to make. I'm honestly in awe.

Dick Shlakman, who's turning 82 next Sunday, is a retired lawyer and corporate executive from Plano, Tex. Will Nediger, 31, is a professional crossword constructor from London, Ont. Dick saw Will's offer of crossword mentorship on Facebook and reached out for his help. They've now made several puzzles together. "I come up with a theme idea that I think is absolutely perfect," Dick says, "and Will shows me the error of my ways — then suggests how to take that idea and make it ideal."

This is Dick's third crossword for The Times and Will's 37th.

Julian Kwan, of Dumont, N.J., is a software test engineer for a telecommunications company. He started solving crosswords in college (University of Pennsylvania, class of 1997). Several years ago, after noticing that all the Times puzzles had bylines, "I figured, why couldn't one of them be me, right?"

Celeste Watts, of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., is a retired elementary school teacher. After years of solving puzzles in her spare time, she decided to try making one herself. Her first 14 attempts for The Times were rejected, but she persevered.

For this one she collaborated with Jeff Chen, a writer and professional crossword constructor in Seattle, whom she calls "a gifted, patient mentor." The theme idea is Celeste's. Jeff helped her execute it. Finally, success! "One off my bucket list!"

Lisa Bunker, of Exeter, N.H., is the author of two novels for young readers — Zenobia July, about a trans girl with a troubled past starting over with a new family and school, and tackling a cyber mystery; and Felix Yz, about a boy fused with an alien counting down to a risky procedure to separate them. Both were published by Viking. She also represents Exeter in the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

This is Lisa's sixth puzzle for The Times and her first Sunday
