Analysis | Solution to Evan Birnholz's April 5 crossword, 'Turn of Phrase'

Next weekend is the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, the last one to be held in Stamford, Connecticut, before it moves to Philadelphia in 2027. If there are any readers who will be attending it in-person, you know what to do: Come say hi to me. You can't miss me: I'll be that guy with a ponytail who likes crosswords; I'm sure that's a perfectly helpful description. It's also the weekend of Crossword Con, though as of this writing I'm still uncertain whether I'll be able to attend. Still, given the set of speakers, that should be fun to watch virtually even if I have to miss it.
