Get to know Steve Faiella
I began constructing crosswords after retiring from a 40 year career in computer programming and management in 2019. Since then I've had crosswords published in newspapers around the country and parts of Canada. I've constructed well over 1000 puzzles in 5X5, 15X15, and 21X21 grid formats. I always aim for puzzles with fun entries and clues, and avoid any entries that might be off-putting to any segment of my solvers (e.g. politics). I hope that you enjoy my sense of humor and pop culture (from the 50s right on up to the present) references which you'll find in many of my grids. As always, thanks for solving!
