Hitting for the cycle in the Modern Era by Mondays

Counts by day of week for constructors sorted by Mondays

So far, 87 authors have hit for the cycle, meaning they have at least one puzzle for each day of the week. Their names are marked with a ✅.

Cycle Level is noted for constructors who have cycled more than once, that is, have a minimum of two puzzles for each day. Their photos are shown here if we have them.

Constructors need 7 daily puzzles to qualify for this page.

On November 28, 2017, Andrew Ries became the first constructor to hit for the cycle on his first seven published NYT puzzles.
