What does it mean to be assistant puzzles editor for The Times, and how does technology assist you in your daily tasks? My daily routine involves working with the puzzles editor, Will Shortz, and the digital puzzles editor, Joel Fagliano, with the three of us making up The New York Times Crossword’s editorial team. All crossword puzzles published in The Times have been accepted through our open submission process. With smartphones in our hands, there are now many ways for people to solve the Times crossword. There is certainly something to be said for solving a newspaper crossword in pencil, just as there is for holding a physical book to read.
