Impressively dense crossword


Eight 15-letter entries, and only 24 black squares in a 15x15 grid.  Awesome.

  1. I noticed this one too when it was published the week before last. Wonderfully natural English in the answers, a real credit to the constructor, Daniel Larsen.

  2. There is a website xwordinfo.com dedicated to a database and stats about the NYT puzzle. Incredibly, there was once a puzzle with only 17 blocks. The same constructor, as well as others, made a puzzle with twelve 15-letter entries.
