The February issue of Games World of Puzzles includes an in-depth Q&A with author and cruciverbalist Aimee Lucido.

She recently published “Words Apart,” a middle grade novel about a precocious girl who loves crosswords.

Lucido also shared a puzzle with us.

Check ’em out!

#bookaday Words Apart @AimeeLucido #phillippaandrachaelcorcutt Great bk w comics, wordplay, poetry abt 2 sisters, family, and friends. Loved the words that Olive collected. Mattie prefers pictures and has learning differences.

Heyyy that's a pretty cool record! I work pretty hard to cram as much themed fill into these puzzles as I can so I'm glad someone noticed!

[puxxled® 🧶 @puxxled]

Solving past NYTXW puzzles, I came across @AimeeLucido's Monthly Bonus puzzle from August 2024, available online only for @nytimes games subscribers, titled "The Dog Days of Summer". These are heavily themed puzzles w/o a unified wordplay gimmick. It may hold a record. (1/2)

@business has a daily game! Alphadots is a word puzzle with a plot twist. Created by Jeff Chen, the puzzle is crossword-adjacent, but it's its own a totally novel concept. You can check it out here:
