Crossworders are obsessed with Oreos. Today's theme pays tribute to DOUBLESTUFOREOS, by making four little sideways-stuffed cookies of black squares. And there's a related grid-spanner running down the middle - CHOCOLATECOATED.
In the fill - OUTGROWTH (Supplementary result), AMORTIZES (Writes off over time), OPACITY (Murkiness), and AFTEREFFECT (Consequence) were refreshing in their unusualness. And I always like little trivia and vocab lessons, like "God rejected by Daphne in myth" (APOLLO) and "Sigmatism" (LISP).
I don't love unchecked letters, and it would have been more APT to have the stuffing elements on top of each other rather than beside each other, but I understand the limitations, and the fill didn't suffer too terribly, so, it's a fine Wednesday.
Onward to the Turn!
