Crossword

To mark the 75th anniversary of the New York Times crossword, which debuted in 1942, we are publishing a series of puzzles co- created by famous people who solve the Times crossword, working together with regular Times puzzle contributors.

This collaboration is by Peter Sagal, the host of NPR’s “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me!,” working together with Mike Selinker, a game and puzzle designer in Renton, Wash. Their crossword is about something Peter is doing — and Mike says he’s “definitely not capable of doing” — this very weekend.

The celebrity collaborations will continue periodically through the year.

More information about the making of today’s puzzle appears in the Times’s daily crossword column (nytimes.com/column/wordplay).
