The crossword equivalent of being scooped in the press is debuting a brand new word in a grid. It’s an indicator that says “hey, this grid wasn’t just auto-filled, you know.” Besides, solvers love seeing things they’ve never seen before. I’m pretty confident that 17-, 62- and 68-Across are making their puzzling debuts. Enjoy.

Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.

I’m pretty confident I could have gone my entire life without seeing 62A in a puzzle and died happy. Otherwise, I liked the work.
