Chandi Deitmer, of Cambridge, Mass., edits puzzles for Elevate Labs, a brain-training app. Taylor Johnson, of Minneapolis, is a stay-at-home dad who volunteers at a food co-op. After meeting via an email chain, they became friends and sounding boards for each other's work.

Chandi says, "The good thing about good friends is they tell you when your theme idea isn't landing — and offer to collaborate with you to make it better." Each has been previously published in The Times, but this is their first puzzle here together.

Robert Ryan, of London, is an economist for the U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority. He lives 10 minutes by foot from the 21-Across. This is his second crossword for The Times, after his debut in March.

Having grown up on cryptics, Robert is fond of tricky clues. His favourite (as he would spell it) in this puzzle is 78-Across. "As long as the clues are fair, I find hard ones more satisfying as a solver."

Sid Sivakumar is an M.D./Ph.D. student at Washington University in St. Louis. This is his 15th crossword for The Times in three years.

He likes theme ideas and clues that are challenging but not forced. When you figure something out, he wants you to say, "Of course!," not "Uh ... OK, I get it." When possible, Sid includes South Asian references in his puzzles, as in the clue for 111-Down here.

Mike Hobin is a real estate agent and property developer in Chicago. While at home during the pandemic, he watched the 2006 documentary "Wordplay," about crosswords, and was inspired to try constructing one himself. Two years and two dozen submissions later, he's making his debut.

The seed of this puzzle was 116-Across. Then he thought of 24-Across … "and it really felt like I was on to something."

John Ewbank is a British science writer from Macclesfield, near Manchester. He regularly composes cryptic crosswords for The Times of London, but lately has been trying American-style crosswords.

This is his third for us. The theme is examples of anapodoton (an-uh-POH-duh-tahn), a rhetorical device you probably use yourself but never knew there was a name for. Well, now you'll know.

David Karp, of Victoria, British Columbia, is a civil servant who works on economic policy for his provincial government.

This was his second attempt at building a puzzle around 119-Across, which is his favorite band. The first attempt, in a themeless grid, didn't work out because the fill wasn't flashy enough. But here the band's name sets up some clever thematic wordplay, which is even better … and you don't need to know anything about the band to get it.

Robert Ryan, of London, is an economist for the U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority. He grew up in Ireland, where he used to sit on his father's knee and "help" him solve the cryptic crossword in the back of a television guide. He subscribed to The New York Times in 2020 for its election coverage and soon got hooked on the crossword, which he now does every day.

This is Robert's first puzzle for the paper.

In his spare time, he does stage magic and stand-up comedy. With a partner, he once held the Guinness world record for the "longest continuous handshake" — 15+ hours. That's even longer than it took him to make this puzzle.

Will Nediger, of London, Ontario, is a professional crossword constructor. This is his 46th puzzle for The Times.

A typical Sunday crossword has 140 answers, but this one has only 136, affording some longer "fill" outside of the theme. Occasionally, as here, constructors include things personal to them in their grids. Will writes, "As a parent of two young kids, 49-Down next to 50-Down really resonates with me."

Garrett Chalfin, 18, is a senior at Riverdale Country School in New York City. Next year he'll begin studying philosophy at the University of Chicago. Last June, after chancing upon this puzzle's theme idea, he stayed up until 4:00 a.m. thinking of examples. He finished the puzzle while at summer camp, demonstrating to his co-counselors how to fill a crossword grid.

Michael Schlossberg is a doctor at St. Charles Medical Center, in Bend, Ore., specializing in internal medicine. He started constructing crosswords in 2018 after reading the series "How to Make a Crossword Puzzle" on The New York Times's website.

This is his sixth puzzle for the paper and his first Sunday. The idea for it came to him after he heard the answer at 121-Across in conversation and thought, I bet there's a literature-themed puzzle in there.

John Martz is a cartoonist, illustrator and book designer in Toronto, Ontario, who specializes in picture books and graphic novels for kids.

This is his first published crossword. He found that constructing it was akin to composing a page of comics. "The processes share a similar choreography of boxes and words and visual design."

In the past he's created an end-of-year crossword for co-workers. This puzzle, coincidentally, grew out of last year's.

Ryan McCarty, of Washington, D.C., is a principal consulting manager at a firm specializing in data/analytics for federal clients. He is also a baritone in multiple vocal ensembles.

This is his 23rd crossword for The Times, and his first Sunday. All but one of these puzzles have been themeless, like today's. To construct it, Ryan started in the middle and built outward, weaving lots of fresh, lively vocabulary. Twenty of the answers have never appeared in a Times crossword before.

Gustie Owens, of New York City, is a research assistant at MDRC, a nonprofit education, and social policy research organization. She has been solving crosswords since middle school. Once in history class, her teacher announced to her from across the room, "12-Across is ALLIGATOR." She realized that the puzzle she was doing was reflected in her glasses.

Last spring, while a senior at Barnard, she was a member of The Times's first Diverse Crossword Construction Fellowship program. This is her first puzzle in the paper.

Adam Wagner, of Oakland, Calif., is a creative lead at the San Francisco-based 1-Down. (Solve the puzzle to find out who!) He's been constructing crosswords for The Times for two years.

This one started with the answers at 85- and 86- Down and branched out, literally, from there. Recently Adam released Anigrams, a free daily online word game that I find almost as addictive as Wordle. — W.S.

Joe Deeney, of Melrose, Mass., is a supply chain director for Philips, a health technology company based in Amsterdam. He's been solving crosswords for as long as he can remember.

In 2015 he was solving one he wasn't particularly fond of and thought, "I can do better than that!" This is Joe's 14th Times crossword and his first Sunday. He's now had a puzzle published on every day of the week — a personal goal.

Sam Donaldson is a law professor at Georgia State University, teaching Property to first-year students and Federal Income Tax and Trusts & Estates to upper-division ones. He's been making crosswords for The Times since 2008. Typically his grids have lots of lively vocabulary.

Sam writes, "This is one of those puzzles where solvers might not realize the theme until after they're done, so I wanted the process of getting to the finish line to be as enjoyable as possible."

Michael Lieberman, of Washington, D.C., is an attorney at Fairmark Partners LLP, a consumer-protection firm. This is his ninth Times crossword in two years. It started when the Billy Joel title "We Didn't Start the Fire" morphed in his head into "ennui didn't start the fire." That didn't make much sense, but it did make him laugh. He went searching for other such transformations to build a puzzle around.

Daniel Bodily, of Woodbury, Minn., is a robotics research engineer. Jeff Chen, of Seattle, is a professional writer and crossword constructor. Previously they collaborated on the Lincoln Memorial-themed puzzle that appeared in May.

The idea for this one was Dan's and started with 63-Across. He pondered the idea for months before reaching out to Jeff. A slew of attempts at construction ensued. "It's really fun to see where the dust settles," Dan says, "after raw ideas are filtered through the constraints of the dictionary and the grid."

Paolo Pasco is a recent Harvard graduate, now working in data science in San Diego. He's been making puzzles for The Times since he was 15. His job interview was partly about crosswords and included a programming problem to find words Boggle-style in a grid. How lucky was that? He says he thought of this puzzle's theme during a class back in April and fleshed it out while walking back to his dorm.

Kathy Bloomer, of Seattle, is a retired hospital pediatrician. Constructing crosswords developed out of her love for solving Diagramless puzzles, which involve a similar sort of logic. This is her second Times crossword, after her debut in 2018.

She has had lots of attempts that didn't quite make it. Kathy jokes, "I am working on a book I am going to call ‘Best Puzzles Rejected by The New York Times.'"

Meghan Morris is an appellate public defender in Denver, where she lives with her partner and twin kindergarteners. She got into crosswords at the University of North Carolina, where she did them in The Daily Tar Heel.

"I can't promise that I never worked on a crossword in class." She adds, "My college roommate recently reminded me that she and I would bemoan when the crossword was on the fold, because then it was hard to do discreetly."

Katie Hale, originally from Houston, is now a stay-at-home mom in London. This is her fifth Sunday Times crossword since 2021.

She works on puzzles when her girls, 6 and 9, are in school or after they've gone to bed. "I like to try and come up with themes during times when I might otherwise be mindlessly staring at my phone, like on the bus. I think the moments when I'm out in the world, hearing other people talk, but not directly to me, are the best times to find inspiration."

Tina Labadie lives in London, Ontario. This is her first New York Times crossword. It has one of my favorite kinds of themes — one offering many different "ahas." The example at 118-Across, at the bottom of the puzzle, is a little different from the others, like the kicker of a joke.

As a construction fillip, every letter in the alphabet is used at least once in the completed grid.

Greg Slovacek is a software engineer from San Francisco. This is his first published crossword. He finds puzzlemaking similar in a way to programming — both involve problem-solving within constraints.

He enjoys puzzles that have layers to be uncovered, which is certainly true of today's.

Scott Hogan is making his New York Times debut with this puzzle, after many submissions. He is a patent attorney from Midland, Mich. Christina Iverson is a crossword constructor and editor from Ames, Iowa. They met through the Cruciverb Facebook page, a forum for crossword constructors.

Scott says he takes inspiration from the lyric of "Movin' On Up," the theme song from "The Jeffersons" — "It took a whole lotta tryin', just to get up that hill.'"

Tom McCoy, of Wexford, Pa., recently defended his doctoral dissertation in Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University. The subject was how language is represented in artificial intelligence systems and what that tells us about language in humans. This fall he'll begin a postdoc program at Princeton.

This is Tom's 35^th Times crossword starting in 2013.

Jeremy Newton, of Austin, Tex., is a software engineer who makes mobile games. He's been constructing crosswords for The Times since 2007, specializing in unusual themes often with visual elements. The idea for this one occurred to him last fall while he was stopped at a traffic light. It took him several months, off and on, to work out all the elements.

This is Jeremy's 15th Sunday crossword and 22nd Times puzzle overall.
