Constructor's Note
I hope this is more user friendly and broadly accessible than my last puzzle or two. I’m always interested in feedback, tips, advice, kudos and complaints! Many thanks and happy solving!

    Very fun, thank you. I was this years old when I finally learned that an ox is just a bull.

      Thanks, Hector! That was news to me, too! 😆

      Indeed, much more accessible parses, so congrats on that... at least no indirect anagrams that get hardliners in a twist... I sense that a bit more work is needed to polish the surfaces, but thats an art that'll come with time... sorry i can't help with any aspect, I'd recommend one of the other geniuses here with actual talent

        Very nice - many thanks!
        Is 5A definition by example? If so, it needs an indicator.
        2D Do you need "Shorter"? I would happily accept "media handler" for PR. For OWL perhaps an example? "Media handler, perhaps a little sneak" would give a better surface.
