I can see why a celebrity would want an unlisted number. I was thrown off for a bit trying to figure out why that would apply to a crossword constructor. Any insight?

Tongue in cheek, I think. (That said, and speaking as a meta constructor, some solvers occasionally have strong opinions about metas!)

I submitted AN UNLISTED NUMBER because grammar. Hope that doesn't disqualify me from the mug, he said without a trace of irony.
Well, it’s Thursday and still no winner. Apparently there must be some high level meetings still going on to decide if they will accept your answer with “AN” included! My vote would be to give you the mug!!!

Maybe the winner has an UNLISTED NUMBER and can't be reached.
