Description

What’s a 5-letter word for brilliant? ROBYN. 

Robyn Weintraub (’91) is a crossword puzzle constructor for the New York Times, New Yorker, People, and more. 

She joins us to share her road from U-Hall 3 to puzzle fame, how she constructs with personality, and what makes a great clue.

Special thank you to her husband, Jeff Weintraub, who introduced us to Robyn and gave us a day filled with fun, learning, and an inside look at a world we were dying to understand.

Google Robin’s puzzles — and get hooked!
