Stella Daily Zawistowski & Francis Heaney
Francis Heaney and Stella Daily Zawistowski duke it out every year for the title of Brooklyn’s fastest crossword solver, and Francis usually wins (he has five top-ten finishes at the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament to Stella’s two). Either of them is capable of solving the New York Times Sunday puzzle in well under 10 minutes.
Francis makes and edits puzzles for a living, whereas Stella has sold out and works as a copywriter in pharmaceutical advertising. Their love of trivia and wordplay is apparent—Francis is the author of Holy Tango of Literature, a book of punny poetry, and Stella appeared on Jeopardy! in 2006.
