NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD

Joel Fagliano is the digital puzzles editor for The New York Times and creator of the daily Mini. He sold his first crossword to the paper when he was 17. He graduated from Pomona College in 2014 with a double major in linguistics and 45-Across. Joel says this puzzle is a result of having some extra time at home recently . . . and of drinking lots of coffee. — W.S.
