This next bit isn’t about Larry’s beautiful debut…but we’re doing something that I think some NYT solvers would appreciate. So, I hope you don’t mind my sharing: Voting is now open for the 12th ORCA Awards – the annual celebration of creativity in crosswords! Winners will be announced on March 6 during a livestream filled with games and prizes. Five long-time solvers will receive special awards. For each day of their streak, solvers can receive a chance to win crossword memorabilia inscribed to them and signed by Will Shortz. Need not be present to win. Details and voting info can be found at Diary of a Crossword Fiend.
