  I must really be losing it, I couldn't even read the clue for 2d... thanks for the puzzle

    2D is definitely the most archaic of the bunch. It requires knowledge of some very trial information. You aren’t losing a dime!

  Thanks for the puzzle! I particularly liked 5A. 2D was really tough — why does “boneheaded” give T?

    Thanks! My thinking was: T-bone at the top.

  I'm learning how to solve cryptic puzzles! Your mini ones (with a very heavy use of the check puzzle tool, etc) are helping me get into it. Thanks!

    That is absolutely awesome to hear. There is a bit of a learning curve, and I am still learning myself! Thanks for sharing!

    That’s exactly what I’ve been doing too… only a month or so into trying cryptics and these have been a delightful way to get started!
