  Damn, I was on the right track for 1A but I was looking for a word meaning “small rogue” Thanks for the puzzle!

    Thanks for solving! I was hoping to trip up anyone who immediately thought small = S, but glad to have subverted you in a different way! Glad you like 3D, I love when a clue feels so simple yet elegant.
