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."
