  haha, thank you! i thought 9A was okay with the tenses . . . what do you think?

    Not convinced either way tbh. Technically you’re comparing “know” (with no s at the end) to “nose” (implied s ending homophone). And the clue itself lends itself to “knows”. But yet it makes sense in the brain in a solvable way.

      the clue lends itself to "knows" so that "knows" is compared with "nose," leaving leftover letters k, w, and e!
