Monday, Dec. 6 was a milestone for me — six years to the day since my first puzzle ran in The Post Magazine. I haven’t done a precise count yet of how many clues that means I’ve written, but this is puzzle No. 313, and with 144 clues most of the time, that’s over 45,000 clues! And that’s just the ones that got published; surely there are thousands more that I wrote but then replaced before publication. Whatever the numbers, thanks for sticking with me for however many years you’ve been solving. Let’s do another six, shall we?
