    Very nice! I confidently had LEVEL and UNLEASH instead of LAYER and RELEASE and spent far too long climbing out of my self-dug hole.

      I suspected it would be tricky, but I didn't know how… thanks for solving and for letting me know!

      Very good puzzle. Some tricky clues where I needed to look up an answer, but that's how we learn things. Very clever puzzle. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks.

        Thanks, great puzzle! I think 22A should be Dennings instead of Dennis

          Absolutely right. (I have no idea how that happened; I feel like autocorrect has gotten more zealous of late.) Fixed, thank you!

            Of course! Autocorrect is more of a double-edged sword than ever
