Hi, I’m Liz Maynes-Aminzade, the Puzzles & Games editor at The New Yorker. I’ve been editing crosswords, trivia, and all sorts of other puzzles since 2018.
Our games section has been growing, and we recently launched Catalogues, a daily game that asks you to sort seven items into their correct order (which might be, for example, chronological, or biggest to smallest). I spend a lot of my time thinking about clues, wordplay, and what makes a challenge fun as opposed to frustrating.
Ask me anything about designing games, what crossword editors argue about, what it’s like to work at The New Yorker, or why your Shuffalo word wasn’t accepted!
