WYNA LIU
FROM CROSSWORDS TO CONNECTIONS, SHE IS FORGING A NEW CHAPTER IN THE NEW YORK TIMES’ STORIED PUZZLE TRADITION.
As editor of Connections, Wyna Liu brings a fresh creative perspective to that legacy, building each daily puzzle through free association, wordplay and surprising relationships between words. Funny and often unpredictable, the game reflects her own playful curiosity and delight in the unexpected—and has become a daily ritual around the world.
“I LIKE BEING A BEGINNER. I LIKE GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS OF LEARNING.”
Iteration is central to Liu’s creative process: returning to something again and again, learning through practice and allowing an idea to evolve. At The New York Times, that openness keeps an enduring puzzle tradition moving forward, with plenty of room for play. Her approach to her uniform begins with intention. What you wear, she says, “can be a signal to yourself about what you are planning to do. And also a way to communicate that to other people.”
THE UNIFORM, PERSONALIZED
“I love cozy clothes. I love the feeling that you can go into a little cocoon. It's really comforting.”
