This puzzle is dedicated to my love Mahima, to whom I’m getting married this Friday, and to our families and friends with whom we’ll be celebrating, as the glue that seamlessly keeps us all together. Eventually, I hit upon a combination that glued together seamlessly with other nice answers, forming the grid you see today. After finding some corner options I liked, I tested them pairwise for compatibility. This layout allowed me to tinker with the top-left and bottom-right corners independently, but left open extra corridors (26-Across and 33-Across here) for solvers to access each region. To create this puzzle, I started with the grid pattern, inspired by Nam Jin Yoon’s themelesses with off-center stair stacks. (That hasn’t happened in The Times since 2017, when Patrick Berry and Jeff Chen had back-to-back 62-word jaunts.) But those who enjoy solving this genre of puzzle might have noticed a rare occurrence this weekend: Blake Slonecker’s puzzle from yesterday and mine today each have 62 answer words. Modern 70- and 72-word themelesses are favored by editors, as they’re typically livelier, cleaner and more accessible than grids with lower word counts. Themeless grids with 62 words are tough to construct, and even tougher to get published these days. In this case, the reference is physical: a TAN LINE on a non-nude, non-sunscreen-slathered sunbather. An “Abrupt change in tone, perhaps” usually indicates a conversation gone wrong (or right, I suppose, although unfortunately that seems less common). But otherwise, I spent more time standing still than going in the wrong direction.ģ4D. Speaking of T-SHIRTS, I opted for “wormhole” instead of TIME WARP for the “Travel aid in science fiction,” which screwed up my northwest corner - a demoralizing turn of events. There are also some wonderfully tricky clues for simple stuff - “Joins a heavy metal band, say” for WELDS “What might collect a lot of checks” for LISTS “They can be graphic” for T-SHIRTS. There’s one name debut in this puzzle: the actress Noomi RAPACE, whose performances as Lisbeth Salander were quite memorable to me but whose name wasn’t close to the tip of my tongue.
I did not pick up on the seriously low word count until I read the Constructor Notes - after all this time solving, I think I might have to try constructing a grid or two myself, to hone my eye - but I did note the cavalcade of artful crossings and tough clues.
