120 Across

NYT Daily • August 31, 2025

School attended by both 111-Across and his creator

Answer:

ETON

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

This clue refers to Eton College, the famous British boarding school. The "111-Across" is likely a fictional character (such as James Bond, who attended Eton in some versions), while his "creator" is the author who also went there—like Ian Fleming, Bond’s creator, who was an Eton alum. The answer plays on the real-life connection between the character and the writer’s shared education.
