NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Daniel Bodily, of Woodbury, Minn., is an R&D robotics engineer. Jeff Chen, of Seattle, is a professional writer and crossword constructor. Dan started making puzzles three years ago. “Every once in a while I pick a ‘mammoth goal’ — something way out of my comfort zone,” and in 2019 that was to have a crossword published in The Times. This is his second (and his first Sunday). Jeff Chen has been a frequent contributor since 2010. — W.S.
