An answer to your puzzle in another post that is locked: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42498953 The "alternate" 5x5 word square that satisfies all the clues without using the words from the first grid is:

    S T R I P
    C H I N A
    R E G A L
    A T O N E
    P A R E R
Breakdown of the solution:

Across

STRIP (Remove the outer layer of, perhaps) — Counterpart to SCALD.

CHINA (Region on a globe) — Counterpart to POLAR.

REGAL (Like some movie theaters; e.g., Regal Cinemas) — Counterpart to ARTSY.

ATONE (Command to a lawbreaker) — Counterpart to CEASE.

PARER (Rhyme for Tom Lehrer /'lɛrər/) — Counterpart to ERROR.

Down

SCRAP (____yard; scrapyard is a common sci-fi setting) — Counterpart to SPACE.

THETA (It goes something like this: Ꮎ) — Counterpart to CORER.

RIGOR (Feature of liturgy, often; strictness/adherence to rubrics) — Counterpart to ALTAR.

INANE (It's vacuous, in a sense) — Counterpart to LASSO.

PALER (Fino is paler than Pedro Ximénez sherry) — Counterpart to DRYER.

This is a neat app. Though when looking at the files in finder it looks like while some files are stored as '.md' files the sample md files only contain HTML.

Tahoe takes a step back in other ways. Like how you can use tabs in Maps.app anymore.
