Zachary: "I'm very excited to be making my NYT debut today, especially because it's alongside one of my favorite constructors, who also turned out to be a dream collaborator!
I had the idea for this theme in March, but I suspected that I'd be in over my head with a 21x, so I reached out to John, knowing he is a legend of the Sunday puzzle. John was brilliant in generating thousands of possible theme entries, which we were able to whittle down to nine and a revealer. The meta answer, which I think might be my favorite part of the puzzle, was all John.
As for me, I'm a 16-year-old junior from Highland Park, IL. Incredibly, I found out that Highland Park is a crossword-constructing hotspot of sorts: Evan Birnholz and Ben Bass are both from HP, and Adam Aaronson is from rival Deerfield.
Lastly, I have to thank Quiara Vasquez and Boaz Moser for their guidance when I was first starting out. I hope everybody enjoys the puzzle!!"
