Aimee Lucido, of Irvington, N.Y., is a children's author. Her third book, Pasta Pasta Lotsa Pasta, came out in July.

Puzzles and children's books are "both ways to stretch out language," she says. "They're about using every sentence, every word, every letter to its absolute fullest". Having two related hobbies comes in handy: "I definitely use puzzles to procrastinate writing, and writing to procrastinate puzzles!".

Meghan Morris is an appellate public defender living in Denver (found in the 110-Across!).

A mother of twin second-graders, this puzzle's theme of milestones is often on her mind. One recent parenting challenge — the "turf war" over who gets to do Wordle on her phone. "I try to take deep breaths and let go of my need to use my regular starting word when I see them typing in something else"

John Kugelman, of Gainesville, Va., is a software engineer and musician.

His puzzles often have a playful sense of humor to them, a style he attributes to his crossword constructing "North Star," the great Patrick Berry. About Patrick, he writes "He doesn't have a flashy gimmick behind every puzzle; it's just how well he pulls off the simple themes." This puzzle likewise has a simple concept, pulled off quite cleverly.

Rebecca Goldstein is a research scientist living in Albany, Calif. Her co-constructor, Will Nediger, is a professional crossword constructor based in London, Ontario.

They connected over DMs, and after settling on this idea, went through countless iterations to achieve the cleanest fill. Both love Sunday themes like this one — Will likened it to "a charcuterie plate where there's a little bit of everything."

Paolo Pasco, of Brooklyn, is the Games editor for LinkedIn. He is the current national crossword champion after winning the 2024 American Crossword Puzzle Tournament. In that competition, he solved a 21x21 crossword (like the one here) in just under six minutes. [Today's is 19x23.]

This puzzle came together on a cross-country flight during which all his electronic devices were close to dead. He took out a blank sheet of paper and started sketching, resulting in the theme here.

John Ewbank is a scientific writer based in Macclesfield, England.

This is the rare example of a puzzle where writing the theme clues took a similar amount of time to making the grid. John would like to put it on record that people who don't like this puzzle smell bad (AD HOMINEM) and want to dumb down the crossword to the point where a 5-year-old could solve it (STRAW MAN).

David Karp, of Victoria, British Columbia, works for the B.C. Ministry of Finance.

This puzzle was built around 107-Across, which makes its debut as an answer in the Times crossword. David was also happy to include 92-Across — in addition to neatly fitting this theme, it was one of his favorite shows as a kid.

Ginny Too, of Philadelphia, Pa., is a V.P. of customer retention at Comcast. She first started solving crosswords on the Appalachian Trail, sharing clues from a desk calendar with her hiking buddies. She has since completed the Pacific Crest Trail (Mexico to Canada), and Continental Divide Trail (Canada to Mexico), always with the Times crossword as a companion.

This puzzle was inspired by her father, whose love of silly puns spans English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese.

Michael Schlossberg is an internist in Bend, Ore. This is his third Sunday crossword of the year.

Michael's antenna is always up for theme ideas — he struck upon this one after seeing the phrase at 113-Across in a news article. Though Michael is an avid gardener, he never brainstorms themes there. "It's my happy place," he says.

Zachary Schiff is a writer living in New York City. This is his first crossword for The Times.

The theme was initially planned for a 15x15 weekday puzzle, but it didn't quite pan out — through "trial and error and a little bit of luck," he was able to rework it into a Sunday. His favorite clue is 89-Down, a fact he heard a few years back and stored away in the hopes of one day including in a puzzle.

Avery Gee Katz, of Santa Clara, Calif., is a user experience designer at a software company.

She comes from a puzzle-loving family — the first crossword she ever made was a Father's Day present for her dad. A diligent constructor, she worked and reworked this puzzle for months, ultimately ending up with 19 versions of the grid. You're solving version #16!

John Kugelman, of Gainesville, Va., is a software engineer and musician. This is his third crossword for The Times — all Sundays.

Crossword construction and music "tickle all the same brain cells," he says, as each is "half-creative and half-technical". He adds: "Sundays are like the progressive rock of crosswords. I love 20-minute songs, and I love 21x21 grids."

Simeon Seigel is an architect at The Turret Collaborative in New York City. He uses his daily subway commute to "trainstorm" theme ideas — including this one, which has been in the works since 2018.

Katie Hale, of London, England, is a freelance crossword editor. Her co-constructor Scott Hogan is a patent attorney from Midland, Mich. This is their second Sunday collaboration for the Times.

This puzzle's genesis is owed to Scott's wife, Edith, a podiatrist who came home one day with the joke you see at 120-Across

Sid Sivakumar is an M.D./Ph.D. student at Washington University in St. Louis, training in biomedical engineering and neuroscience. This is his 17th crossword for The Times.

Since the theme material appears mostly in the middle, Sid made the grid's sides — and especially the corners — quite open, giving them a themeless feel. "I was very fortunate they turned out so clean and fresh," Sid says. "I'm usually not so lucky!"

Peter Koetters is a pediatrician in Pasadena, Calif. This is his fifth crossword for The Times since 2012, and first Sunday.

His interest in constructing was piqued by the 2006 documentary "Wordplay," in which he saw Merl Reagle go through the steps of creating a puzzle. He thought "I wonder if I can do that?" Peter says his puzzlemaking is intermittent. "My wife hates it when I wall myself off for days working on these things."

Daniel Grinberg, of Philadelphia, researches user experience for a utility company. This is his fifth crossword for The Times. It was inspired at a party when he heard someone with a new haircut cry [the answer to 47-Across]. To which he thought [the clue to 47-Across] — which became the seed of this puzzle. Apart from its theme,

Daniel tried to include new vocabulary in the grid. 1A, 116A, 10D, 15D, 36D and 74D are all appearing in a Times crossword for the first time.

Nathan Hasegawa, of Oakland, Calif., is a junior at Harvey Mudd College, majoring in mathematics.

This is his second crossword for The Times. His first was in 2021, during his senior year at high school, when every student had to pursue a year-long project, and Nathan made it his goal to get a crossword published here. This follow-up was two years in the making (on and off) and has a multifaceted theme.

John Westwig is a software engineer in Seattle. This is his ninth crossword for The Times. His first one appeared in 2015 when he was 17.

John says, "I think I got into constructing because, when I was done solving a puzzle, I would look at the answer grid and wonder how someone could possibly have created such a thing!" Note the long answers at 16- and 50-Down, each crossing three theme entries. Very elegant.

Michael Schlossberg is an internist in Bend, Ore., who's been making crosswords for The Times since 2020. He got the idea for this one after seeing 68-Across as a title at his local bookstore.

Although themeless puzzles are Mike's favorites to solve, he says he doesn't construct them "because I get decision paralysis — they're too much of a blank canvas. I need to have a theme set to build around."

Jeremy Newton, of Austin, Tex., is an engineering manager for a mobile games company.

This is his 26th crossword for The Times — mostly Sundays, and most of these having visual elements, a bent he attributes to his artistic background. Jeremy attended a magnet high school for visual arts, the Art Institute of Dallas and then an N.Y.U. Tisch graduate program in code-driven art installations. He likes the large "canvas" that Sunday puzzles afford him.

Zachary David Levy is an assistant professor of neurosurgery and emergency medicine at Hofstra's Zucker School of Medicine on Long Island. This is his sixth crossword for The Times, and first Sunday. Jeff Chen, of Seattle, is a writer and longtime crossword contributor.

Zachary initially submitted a smaller version of this puzzle with three theme entries for the daily paper — but the theme idea felt better suited for a Sunday with more examples. He enlisted Jeff to help.

Tracy Bennett is a digital puzzles editor for The Times. She manages Wordle and helps with the crossword.

In this themeless puzzle, she took a bold grid pattern with lots of white squares and, in each corner, positioned a marquee answer — "something new or that had an appealing sound or cluing potential." Then she built out from there. FYI, those starting points were 23-, 48-, 50-, and 87-Across.

Robert Ryan, of London, is an economist for the U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority. This is his third crossword for The Times — all Sundays.

Although he grew up solving cryptics (and loves their wordplay), he doesn't create them. He has only ever submitted crosswords here. "Once I discovered the American crossword, I was completely sold."

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.
