Kevin Curry: This one wouldn't have happened without my wife, Zhou, who suggested that it would be fun to hide Bigfoot in a crossword puzzle. I couldn't believe that it hadn't been done before, until actually trying it... and failing miserably. Bi-directional rebuses, putting cryptids in black squares... nothing was working. What's a novice crossword constructor to do with a good idea but execution issues? Email Jeff Chen! And of course, he quickly uncovered CUBICFOOT, and we were on our way to the puzzle you see today.

This isn't the first puzzle on which Jeff and I have collaborated. I initially reached out to him almost three years ago - at the time, I was still creating grids by hand. He was so generous with his feedback that from that point forward, sharing an NYT byline with Jeff became one of my top crosswording goals. Along my journey to finally achieving this goal, I've exchanged notes with many other brilliant people in the Crossworld. I have to pinch myself every time I have the honor of publishing a puzzle for this thoughtful community. Can this be real or am I just imagining things? Who knows?!

Jeff Chen: It's a joy to work with Kevin. Not only does he brainstorm a huge breadth of ideas, but he's worked hard to build impressive gridding skills. Super fun to develop this crossword with him!

This puzzle, my first NYT acceptance, got the thumbs up in March of 2023. At that time I'd only been constructing for a few months and had a bad habit of trying to cram as many themers as I could into each puzzle. If I made it today I would drop one and let the grid breathe. There's too much short fill. Nevertheless, I still love the puzzle and I hope you do, too.

I'm not a basketball player or even a basketball fan. I think I came across the revealer for this puzzle because the phrase "double double" randomly popped into my head … not the NBA stat, but the cheeseburger from In-N-Out. I couldn't tell you why. I thought "Hmm, interesting potential for a crossword theme," as one does when one has been bitten by the crossword construction bug — a mind virus that's constantly scanning your thoughts and speech for double meanings. The internet told me that a "triple double" was a basketball thing. I thought, "there couldn't possibly be a QUADRUPLE double," but yes, in fact, there was.

I used ChatGPT to write some code to search my word list for phrases that used four sets of double letters. There's a good amount of luck involved in finding workable crossword themes, and here, I got very lucky: There were only about 10 results, and the four best ones happened to be 15 letters long, thus satisfying the symmetry constraint.

This is my first puzzle published in the The New York Times! I got into constructing about two years ago and it has proved to be a satisfying and, frankly, somewhat therapeutic outlet for my wordplay-oriented brain. (Years ago I had a "problem" with compulsively spoonerizing words. It got so bad that my friend had to stage an intervention. Yank thou, Evan — I mean, thank you — I needed that.)

I'm grateful to have found a hobby where I can channel that dad-joke energy and, hopefully, bring some enjoyment to the solving public. Many thanks to my merry band of test solvers, and especially to Carly Schuna.

I'm currently a grad student at Columbia Journalism School, and I have approximately zero free time, so puzzle-making is on hold for now. But don't worry! I'll be back with more. 😊

Jeffrey: The basic idea for this puzzle (fittingly) came to me during a meeting last summer, while I was working for a professor in my school's astronomy department. Before long, Jeff and I had brainstormed around the concept enough to begin filling up a grid. That's where the real fun began - it took dozens (maybe even hundreds) of iterations between us to create the grid you see before you. I always enjoy working with Jeff on puzzles because he is super creative, but also rigorous in his approach, especially when it comes to constructing grids. This puzzle in particular was a test of determination due to its highly constrained layout and visual elements. Hopefully you enjoyed solving, and happy Sunday!

I'll end on a couple fun facts about the moon: The moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning we always see the same side of it. Also, the moon is very slowly drifting away from the earth at a rate of a couple inches each year!
