Rebecca, that’s so cool that you’ve only been constructing puzzles for a couple years and you’ve already been published in the NYT! How did you make the jump from solving to constructing? Are there particular tools you would recommend for designer n00bs?
There are lots! Check out ingrid crossword software and spread the wordlist. There’s a Facebook group to find mentors and a Discord with lots of helpful folks.
Awesome! Thanks for the info, Rebecca!
