ANNE: I was excited to get the chance to collaborate with Erik again for my first, and hopefully not last, NYT appearance! He could not have reached out at a more perfect time. It was a nice little time window where I happened to be transitioning jobs and had more free time than usual. I had a great time finishing out the grid and cluing the puzzle with Erik. It was particularly fun thinking of trickier clues.
One of the last clues we worked on was for 30-Across. Erik's made the cut, but I wanted to give a shout out to my version — "Rhapsody in shoes."
ERIK: I had the good fortune of working with Anne on a puzzle for the Universal Sunday Crossword, and it was a pleasure to do so again here. She's a quick study, has a fun and witty cluing voice (see above), and thinks about crosswords like she's a constructing veteran. I can't wait for her next one!
