I had dabbled in constructing before the pandemic, but once COVID hit, I decided I was determined to get a puzzle accepted in the Times.
I'm a comedy writer by trade, so I wanted my themers to elicit at least a slim to moderate chuckle. Turning COMB to COMBO was my way in, and after running through a bunch of -MB words, was pleasantly surprised to find the phrases I turned up worked out neatly for symmetry.
I'd originally had PHANTOM LIMBO as a themer until my editor suggested LIFE AND LIMBO, which is way better. Serious bucket list item crossed off today — hope to be back in these pages soon!
