      "To contain" is not a proper hidden indicator for 1A1AModify to contain ironclad aptitude (5)[-----]. You can probably see why. Some other nits as well. A fun puzzle overall though.

        Thanks for the feedback! Oh I see, makes sense, thanks for letting me know!

          Thanks a lot! Yeah 4a4AOne pair shelter poor for school of Islam (5)[-----] is a lesser known word: I used it because for this puzzle I wanted to have all answers contain "ad" (a bit of an inside joke with a friend)

            Thanks for an entertaining puzzle. 1D1DDrink back and about one goodbye (5)[-----] As it is a vertical word, "Drink up" might be a better surface reading. 3D3DA dirt forms a triumvirate (5)[-----] "Dirt forms about a triumvirate" is a better surface reading. I hope you don't mind these suggestions.

              Thank you for the suggestions, that is useful feedback! Glad you enjoyed!

                Thank you! Oh interesting, I am not sure if school is the right term here, I thought it worked.
