THE EMOJI MOVIE
Brian Kulman of Los Gatos, Calif., is a semiretired executive in the technology business. He started solving New York Times crosswords during high school, when a teacher said they’d help improve his SAT vocabulary score. (“It definitely worked!”) He loves movies and collects movie posters. He hopes this puzzle evokes a lot of good memories for movie lovers. — W.S.
