    Nice one! By far the trickiest was VOILA - got a kick out of it once I finally put it all together 馃槀

      By Jove, this was a fun (and tricky) puzzle!

        Excellent! I made a puzzle like this too (https://crosshare.org/crosswords/kisDsRhAG59lA1cllBlO) but yours is definitely cleverer! Love the sneaky clue for VIOLA, and I assume the play on LOLLS / "LOLs" was intentional. Great job!

            VOILA was so good!

              I'm afraid I don't get VOILA. Could someone explain the joke for me? (I would somehow have thought it would fit better with a rabbit and a hat...)

                Sorry I missed your comment. I skipped a step in the clue. It should actually be: (1) cub : lion :: violin : viola; (2) lion : loin :: viola : ___. Hope this would be clearer.
