Jeremy Newton, of Austin, Tex., is an engineering manager for a mobile games company.
This is his 29th crossword for The Times since 2008. He calls it "100% a love letter" for the puzzle's subject, which unfolds beautifully in multiple ways. Jeremy thanks "the crossword gods" that 22-Across, the figure that ties the whole thing together, could run through the heart of the shaded squares.

Sam Ezersky, of Buffalo, is a digital puzzles editor for The Times. He's been creating crosswords for the paper since he was 17. His favorite ones to solve are "tough-as-nails themeless Saturdays."
When he's constructing, Sam works hard to include answers with "interesting letters and fun cluing potential" over tired fill loaded with E's, R's, S's and T's.
