Trenton Charlson, 25, is a full-time crossword constructor in Columbus, Ohio. He loves words with unusual letter combinations, like 63-Across here, which he's been trying to use in a puzzle for years. He says, "I value the sort of ‘x-factor' that makes a puzzle feel playfully and distinctly ‘human'" — the fill included.
With advanced crossword software and databases available now even to first-time constructors, it takes special effort, like Trenton's, to display a personal style.

Trenton Charlson is a 2018 graduate of Ohio State University with a degree in English and a concentration in creative writing. "Sadly," he says half-jokingly (I think), "there is no crossword-puzzle major at Ohio State." Five of Trenton's previous nine crosswords in The Times were named "Puzzle of the Week" by the blog XWord Info.
This is his first Sunday puzzle.
