Stumped on crossword clue for “Nomadland” director? We have you covered!

As a diligent detective, the crossword clue ‘Chloé who directed “Nomadland”‘ caught my attention. I began to think about who could possibly fit this description. My first thought was that the director of “Nomadland” could have the first name ‘Chloé’, but after some research, I discovered that the director’s name was ‘Zhao’. This led me to the realization that the clue was likely referring to the director’s last name. As I continued to contemplate, I started considering the pattern of the letters in the answer. I hypothesized that it had to be a four-letter name, starting with ‘Z’ and ending with ‘O’. It was then that I recalled a previous crossword puzzle that had a similar pattern, and the answer was ‘Zeno’. With this in mind, my instincts led me to believe that the answer to this clue was ‘Zhao’, since that name also had the pattern I was looking for and was an up-and-coming director who had recently gained acclaim for ‘Nomadland’. Indeed, upon checking the answer key, my deduction proved correct, and I had solved the crossword puzzle.
