Repeat after me: It’s solving time! This week's puzzle was constructed by Matt Sweeney and edited by Hoang-Kim Vu. Matt is a public librarian who lives in Boston with his partner and dog named Doc. He started constructing crosswords in 2024 and is thrilled to debut at Defector.
Defector crosswords, launched in partnership with our friends at AVCX, run every Monday. If you’re interested in submitting a puzzle to us, you can read our guidelines HERE.
