A themed crossword from Evan. Clever!

Nice puzzle!
Is the solution writeup available if you're not a subscriber to the Wapo? If not, I understand, but it's nice to read Evan's comments after solving.

Thanks!
Evan also writes about his puzzles on the Wapo site, and that's been fun to read after solving to get some insight into the creation process. Evan's puzzles tend to be well-crafted and I enjoy seeing the puzzle afterwards from his perspective.

I know, but it seems to be behind a paywall this time. I guess I over-read my quota this month!

Another well-crafted puzzle from Evan with an ingenious twist.

Wow, this was very elegant, with chef's-kiss theme material.

Enjoyed the puzzle very much and also the incremental discoveries of what was going on!
Thanks, Evan!

Clever concept elegantly executed… nice one, Evan!

I wonder if it is anywhere lese because WAPO wants you to pay to read the writeup?
