    Thanks for a very entertaining puzzle.
    1A I got this from the definition; I couldn't understand the wordplay.
    6A That age-old difference in US v UK spelling got me here!

      Very nice puzzle; thank you! I think 1A is a Spoonerism first ("crow boss"), and "that shoots bolts" as a definition.

        Many thanks!

        Thanks for the solve! I just edited the puzzle so 6A now accepts the non-American spelling. I'll try to remember that kind of thing for the future!

            Fun clues! I especially liked the OMPH wordplay in 2D and the 1D &lit. As an Aussie, I'm very disappointed that you didn't leverage the Schrödinger functionality to allow for SUMMARISE 😜 Fun to see you uploading to Crosshare now!
