PhotoThe front of Sunday’s special “Puzzle Mania!” section in The Times has the largest Spiral puzzle I’ve ever made. Spiral puzzles consist of a grid of letters that corkscrews toward the center. In the case of Sunday’s puzzle, 32 words read serially inward from No. To the right I need a word starting IS—, whose remaining letters will end a word coming back. To the left I need a word starting MI—, reading in reverse, whose remaining letters will end something reading forward.
