This grid might do a number on you. Today's puzzle was constructed by Kelsey Dixon and Kate Chin Park, and edited by Hoang-Kim Vu. Kelsey is a crossword constructor from Chicago. Her puzzles have been published in Apple News+, The Atlantic, and The New Yorker, among other venues. When she’s not making puzzles for fun, she ... works as a puzzle editor at Andrews McMeel Universal ... She likes fizzy drinks, dinosaurs, and reminding people she was in a sorority. Kate is a crossword constructor from Oakland whose puzzles have been published in all those places too, not that it's a contest. By day she, too, is a puzzle editor. By night she is a good friend who will not reveal which sports star Kelsey has sex dreams about.
Defector crosswords, launched in partnership with our friends at AVCX, run every Monday. If you’re interested in submitting a puzzle to us, you can read our guidelines HERE.
