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 the designer and TV
host Isaac Mizrahi, together with David J.
Kahn, a retired consulting actuary in New
York City. This is David’s 172nd crossword
for The Times. More information about the
making of today’s puzzle appears in the
Times’s daily crossword column (nytimes.
com/column/wordplay).
