Thank you!
More people than you might think are responsible for creating NYT puzzles. It starts with the constructors who bring their brilliance, creativity, and humor to this complicated art form. Editors select and massage their work. Test solvers find the tiniest errors. Others then prepare the results for publication in the magazine and international journals. Coders create digital versions. Artists sometimes add clever animated overlays. (The Zamboni one is my favorite!) And the cooperation of people on the business side means I can keep organizing and displaying puzzle data in ways you find useful. I'm thankful for them all.
Much of this site is free, but I'm grateful to users who purchase XWord Info accounts for greater access. My Angel subscribers are very much appreciated. This site is expensive to run, and it wouldn't be possible without Angelic support.
Happy American Thanksgiving, wherever you are.
Official XWord Info Merch!
The new XWord Info store has some quality products you absolutely need. Well, perhaps not need, but you can support this website and help spread the word by purchasing a mug, a t-shirt, or an excellent hoodie.
For added incentive, if you post a photo of yourself on social media wearing branded clothes, I'll add two months to your XWord Info account for free. Post of photo of you wearing it at a crossword puzzle tournament, and you get four added months.
If you're a constructor, let me know if you'd like a product with your own "baseball card" or an image of your favorite grid. I take custom orders.
