NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD
Michael Lieberman is an appellate attorney in Washington, D.C., currently on parental leave after the birth of his first child. Although this puzzle isn’t Father’s Day-themed, he says it’s nice that his first Sunday puzzle will run on his first Father’s Day as a father. About five years ago, he and his wife started solving the Sunday Times crossword together, first on paper, then on a tablet. Michael now does the Times puzzle every day. His wife, though, favors the Spelling Bee. — W.S.
