  There’s also the bonus that “aglet &lit” is fun to say!

    I was looking up how other crosswords have clued aglet, and many called it a “Plastic shoelace tag”. So I saw that TAG just needed an LE, and “plastic” is already a perfect anagram indicator… and then I realized that LE is the ends of “lace”. It just came together so magically
